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 this new project and solicit fan feedback.
Community suggestions ranged widely, including a Smash TV remake and Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and also hinted at a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail game" genre.
While specifics remain undisclosed, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The success of Helldivers 2, a standout title of 2024, sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.
Helldivers 2 recently received a major update, boosting player numbers significantly on PS5. The "Omens of Tyranny" expansion, a surprise reveal at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received.
This update, featuring the much-anticipated Illuminate enemy faction, the 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps, has delighted players. With a rumored Killzone crossover also on the horizon, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
