Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the resounding success of Helldivers 2 (released last year to rave reviews), is currently developing a new 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 widely, from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt acknowledged prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and even mentioned a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail game" genre.
While Arrowhead remains tight-lipped about specifics, their active community engagement is evident. Helldivers 2's triumph – a standout title of 2024 – sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.
A recent update significantly boosted Helldivers 2's player count on PS5. The Omens of Tyranny expansion, a surprise release at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received.
This update delighted Helldivers 2 players, introducing the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, a 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps. Coupled with rumors of a Killzone crossover, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
