Is there anything stopping AH from Re-releasing a fork of HD2 as HD3 and putting it on Steam without the PSN requirement? (lemmy.one)

Main question in title. It sounded like the majority platform for the game is PC. What's stopping the devs from just re-releasing the game on PC without Sony as the publisher? Can the devs just abandon ship and start fresh, but without Sony?

Helldivers is Sony IP, not Arrowhead IP, so no, Arrowhead can’t just release another game in the series without Sony’s involvement.

Damn. Maybe their next game can be called Shelldivers. Armed snails deployed to the bottom of the ocean to destroy trash monsters and deep sea creatures.
