Today, Helldivers 2 devs announced that there will not be a balancing patch today as previously expected. Twinbeard said the following about delaying today’s patch:
“When it’s done. We want to take some time for this one and potentially between future patches since we feel cadence has probably been a bit too high to be able to maintain the quality standard we want and you deserve. Patching a lot of risks can easily disrupt work flow and takes more resources than you might think; it needs planning, implementing, monitoring, possible tweaking in hotfixes etc. For this one we prefer to stretch it out a little, hopefully with a good result.”
For now, it looks like there is no official release date set for the new patch, but it does seem like future patches and updates will also come at a slower cadence in favor of having more time to plan and execute updates and patches.
