to seemingly share a first look at the cape design that was inspired by the review ******** on Steam following the PSN account linking fiasco.

The image, which you can see below, is only a small tease of what's to come as we only get a look at the bottom right of the cape. However, that hasn't stopped fans from getting very excited.

Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

due to the PSN linking requirement, which obviously caused a huge headache for everyone inside and out of the studio.

"Helldivers fans — we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward," PlayStation wrote on its official account.

"We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans."
