Following the success of Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Studios has hinted at a new game

Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released just a year ago), is currently developing a new, "high-concept" game. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project and solicit fan feedback.

Community suggestions ranged widely, from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and mentioned a Star Fox-inspired project within the "rail game" genre as a possibility.

While specifics remain undisclosed, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The success of Helldivers 2, a standout title of 2024, sets a high standard for their next endeavor.

A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, a 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 (shadow-dropped as "Omens of Tyranny"), is proving popular.

This update has clearly delighted Helldivers 2 players. Coupled with rumors of a Killzone crossover, the game is poised for continued success in 2025.
