Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released a year ago), is currently developing a "high-concept" game. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project and solicit fan input.
Community suggestions ranged widely, including a Smash TV remake and various Star Fox-inspired concepts. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and acknowledged interest in a Star Fox-esque "rail game."
While specifics remain confidential, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. Helldivers 2's success, a standout title of 2024, sets a high benchmark for their next venture.
A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, the 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps, has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The update, a surprise "shadow drop" at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received. This, coupled with rumors of a Killzone crossover, positions Helldivers 2 for continued success in 2025.
