Following the success of Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Studios has hinted at a new game

Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the resounding success of Helldivers 2 (released last year to critical acclaim), is currently developing a new, ambitious game concept. Creative director Johan Pilestedt recently took to social media, announcing work on a "high-concept" project and inviting fan input.

Community suggestions ranged from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake, and also hinted at a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail shooter" genre.

While specifics remain undisclosed, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. Helldivers 2's triumph – a standout title of 2024 – sets a high benchmark for their next venture.

A recent update for Helldivers 2 has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The "Omens of Tyranny" expansion, surprise-released at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received.

This update has delighted Helldivers 2 players, introducing the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, a 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps. Furthermore, with a rumored Killzone crossover on the horizon, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
