All well with Helldivers - testing ongoing, released when ready

So say the Galactic Extranet.

It's been a while since we heard from the extremely challenging twin stick shooter Helldivers in development at Magicka devs Arrowhead Game Studios for PS3, PS4 and PS Vita (in fact, it's cross-play).

In a hilarious (though perhaps not all that informative) bulletin on the Galactic Extranet, we're given an update on the game.

"We know the anticipation is great and are happy to inform you that development is going well. As many of you have noticed, the plans of a summer release were replaced with ‘it will be ready when its ready!' due to our ongoing pursuit of perfection and some feature creep. Luckily Sony are always supporting and sharing our ongoing obsession for the best game ever!

At the moment we are working on making an enhanced instruction tutorial that will better prepare the soldiers for the war and guiding them in the practices of spreading democracy to the far reaches of the galaxy. Internal testing has consisted of bringing some civilians in from the parallell team to gauge their improved understanding and willingness to fight for the cause of Super Earth afterwards."

The rest of the message is lacking some of the finer details courtesy of some Starship Trooper style censorship...

Apparently some details in this screenshot were deemed too sensitive at this point in time...
