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 from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior consideration of a Smash TV remake and hinted at a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail game" genre.
While specifics remain undisclosed, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The studio's next title faces high expectations, following Helldivers 2's success as a standout game of 2024.
A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the highly anticipated Illuminate enemy faction, the 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps, has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The update, a surprise release at the 2024 Game Awards, is proving popular.
This update has clearly delighted Helldivers 2 players. The addition of the Illuminate faction addresses a long-standing player request, while the new vehicle and maps enhance gameplay. With a rumored Killzone crossover also on the horizon, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
