What is in store for the highly anticipated Helldivers 2? The team at Arrowhead is hard at work on their follow-up to the successful co-op shooter, and they are eager to hear the suggestions of their dedicated players.
With the unexpected triumph of Helldivers 2, the pressure is on for the next game from developer Arrowhead. Despite some fans expressing disappointment with recent updates, the game remains a major success story of 2024, especially considering its predecessor was relatively unknown.
While Helldivers 2 caught everyone by surprise, the team at Arrowhead knows that their next project will have to live up to the heightened anticipation. Creative director Johan Pilestedt has already confirmed that plans are in motion for their next game, and he is looking for input from the community.
In a recent post, Pilestedt asked for players' expectations and desires for the studio's next game, while also sharing some concept art from previous projects. However, he did not reveal any details about the actual concept, leaving fans to speculate and make their own suggestions.
One fan even requested a remake of the classic 1990 twin-stick shooter, Smash TV, to which Pilestedt revealed that the studio had actually created a concept for it in the past. This led to more fans requesting Helldivers 3 or a single player spin-off, but there is no confirmation on whether the next project will be a continuation of the series.
Considering that Helldivers began as a top-down shooter before transitioning to third-person in the sequel, there is a possibility that the next game may take a different perspective or direction. However, with the success of the sequel, the studio may be hesitant to make too many changes to the formula.
It may be a while before we see anything from Arrowhead's next project, especially if they continue to support Helldivers 2 in the coming years. In fact, just last month, they released a Killzone crossover bundle for the game, featuring new weapons, armor sets, and premium cosmetics.
As for whether the studio's next project will be set in the Helldivers universe, only time will tell. In the meantime, fans can stay updated by following Arrowhead on their various social media platforms and signing up for their newsletter.
