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

Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released just a year ago), is currently developing a new, ambitious game concept. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project, describing it as "high concept" and inviting fan input.

The response was varied, with suggestions ranging from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and hinted at a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail game" genre.

While specific details remain confidential, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The remarkable success of Helldivers 2, a standout title of 2024, sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.

A recent, substantial update to 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 introduced the highly anticipated Illuminate enemy faction, along with a 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle and new urban warfare maps. Further fueling anticipation is the rumored Killzone crossover, potentially positioning Helldivers 2 for continued success in 2025.
