"Unprecedented Growth: Helldivers 2 Sales Surge Defying Expectations"

Helldivers 2 has defied expectations by experiencing a rare and continuous growth in sales since its February launch, with around 3 million copies sold and topping the Steam charts. Analyst Mat Piscatella compares its sales trend to a "rare and amazing bird," noting its unusual "inverse decay curve" where sales continue to rise instead of declining after release. Piscatella emphasizes that this growth is not due to temporary factors like discounts, and compares Helldivers 2's sales behavior to the steady rise of Guitar Hero. The game's success stands out in a market dominated by big names like Fortnite and Call of Duty, and it remains a title to watch as it maintains its momentum.
