Deep Rock Galactic is a very similar type of game, and hasn't gone woke for the years it's been out. Smaller studios are less likely to get infected with the globohomo virus. The people working at Arrowhead (the studio that made Helldivers 2) have also shown to be relatively competent, which means they value merit over DEI, and the CEO has shown he's willing to openly push back and mock stupidity. On the other hand, the opening cut scene shows a mixed race couple, but then again, it shows the non-whites being ruthlessly butchered by a bug. Another positive is that the fanbase seems wholly disdainful of any attempts by Reddit tier lefties to try to shame "fascism" in the game, and every post they make on the subject has been ruthlessly mocked by the player base, even on the Helldiver Reddit forum (weirdly enough). So, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Difference being that Helldivers is published by Sony and was chosen to be in their special showcase, whereas DRG was and still is a small game under the notice of most anyone.
I won't say that guarantees anything about the game going woke, as it seems to be actively resisting currently (minus making the first 2 seconds of the game show you a mixed race couple in a propaganda video), but it has Soyny actively in its walls.
Given this game is set up to be a perpetual service, I predict it will turn Uber woke in under a year.

Didn't news just come out that Sony has laid off a lot of people?
