'We have an actual person with the title of Game Master': A single Helldivers 2 dev named Joel is pulling the strings on its galactic war like an all-powerful D&D dungeon master, war will become 'more and more sophisticated over time'

Helldivers 2's galactic war is much more than a mission selector.

But the community's attachment to each planet is significant … So one of the things we're looking at internally is how can we reconsider these planets to become more of a character going forward?"
