Helldivers 2 CEO Vows Major New Updates

Helldivers 2 is preparing to share some exciting updates, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios appears confident they will make a big impression. As the studio's CEO puts it, you might want to brace yourself.

As noted by VideoGamer, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani was talking about Helldivers 2 in the game's Discord when a user asked if he could "share any little detail about what's on the horizon." His reply?

"You'll be blown away."

While he didn't specify what's coming, his comment hints at the sheer significance of the upcoming announcements—and the potential shock to your system.

Jorjani also responded to other questions, notably mentioning plans to include more melee weapons and addressing community concerns about content gaps. The team's candid discussion about the technical challenges of a game like Helldivers 2, alongside their playful quips, is both refreshing and exciting.

Some clues about future content have already surfaced, including imagery of a flag featuring a sharp tip and a textured grip. Arrowhead has indicated that it plans to announce its next Warbond on May 8, with "more thrilling news to follow soon afterward."

In a recent IGN interview, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle emphasized the studio's long-term vision, affirming that they are dedicated to supporting Helldivers 2 for years to come while staying authentic to their creative goals.

"As we become more adept at managing a live game environment—and we're still improving in many areas—we can increasingly channel our creativity into new gameplay systems we hadn't even considered a year ago at launch," Bolle told IGN. "Having experience with live service games, I'm excited about the chance to explore innovative ideas from other titles and adapt them with our own unique touch, keeping the experience true to our identity. I'm really looking forward to that phase."

We'll soon discover what Arrowhead has planned for Helldivers 2. You may want to keep your expectations high—and maybe an extra pair of pants handy, just in case.
