Excitement is building around *Helldivers 2* as developer Arrowhead Game Studios teases some major upcoming news. According to Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani, fans should brace themselves for something truly impactful. In a recent interaction on the game's Discord, Jorjani cryptically responded to a query about future updates with a bold statement: "You'll shit your pants." While not revealing specific details, this certainly hints at the significant *impact* of what's on the horizon—and perhaps the need for a wardrobe change.
Jorjani also fielded other questions, touching on the desire to introduce more bladed weapons and addressing concerns about potential content droughts. He offered insights into the technical challenges of developing a game like *Helldivers 2*, showcasing a refreshing level of transparency. Alongside these serious discussions, his humorous comments about distressing jeans add a light-hearted touch to the conversation.
Arrowhead has already hinted at what's to come, mentioning a flag with both a pointy end and a grippy section. The studio is set to announce its next Warbond on May 8, with promises of "more exciting news to follow shortly after."
In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle expressed the studio's long-term commitment to *Helldivers 2*. Bolle emphasized the team's desire to thrive in a live game environment, continuously exploring new systems and creative ideas. "The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, and we still have a way to go to figure out a lot of things around that, the more we can let creativity loose on new systems that we would've never thought about a year ago when we released," Bolle shared. He highlighted the excitement of adapting innovative elements from other games while staying true to Arrowhead's unique style.
As we approach next week, anticipation for what Arrowhead has planned for *Helldivers 2* continues to grow. Fans might want to keep some extra pants handy, just in case.
