Helldivers 2 Players Overwhelmingly Choose 'Gun' as New City Name, CEO Responds
2025-07-22 19:56:17The gaming community never fails to deliver humor when given the opportunity, and Helldivers 2 players have proven this once again. After the recent Battle of Super Earth, Arrowhead Game Studios allowed the community to vote on renaming the reconstructed city of Remembrance. Among more serious options like "New Remembrance" and "Everlasting Memory", one choice stood out - the simple yet hilarious "Gun". This unconventional option won by a landslide, securing 72% of over 85,000 votes.
The overwhelming support for "Gun" has left some players skeptical about whether Arrowhead will actually implement this name. One curious fan directly asked CEO Shams Jorjani on the official Helldivers 2 Discord about the possibility of "Gun City" becoming reality. Jorjani responded with amusing uncertainty: "I really don't know where we are with that. I personally hope we go the managed democracy route and pick something else."
While Jorjani's initial response might disappoint fans of the "Gun" option, he later acknowledged that "the people have spoken." This massive player participation demonstrates Helldivers 2's continued success in engaging its community through interactive storytelling elements. The game's 'managed democracy' system, where player actions collectively shape the galactic war narrative, has proven to be a brilliant design choice that keeps the experience fresh and dynamic.
As Helldivers 2 maintains its popularity, Arrowhead Game Studios shows no signs of slowing down their support for the title. With confirmation that Helldivers 3 remains years away, the developer continues to focus on delivering engaging content and community-driven experiences that have made the sequel such a standout success in the live-service gaming space.
