The PlayStation family won’t be growing with the addition of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead, it seems. The developer’s CEO, Johan Pilestedt, shot down rumors his company was being acquired by Sony.
Spotted by Eurogamer, Pilestedt responded on X (formerly known as Twitter) to someone asking if Arrowhead Game Studios might be joining PlayStation as a first-party developer. The Helldivers 2 creative director outright denied the scuttlebutt: “This is fake,” he said. Pilestedt even replied to another person who claimed Arrowhead “sold out to Sony,” saying, “this would be the first hear I about it.”
