Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the resounding success of Helldivers 2 (released last year to critical acclaim), is currently developing a new, ambitious game concept. Creative director Johan Pilestedt recently took to social media, announcing work on a "high-concept" project and inviting fan input.
The response was varied, with suggestions ranging 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 shooter" genre.
While details remain scarce, Arrowhead’s active community engagement is evident. The studio’s commitment to listening to player feedback is clear. The phenomenal success of Helldivers 2, a standout title of 2024, sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.
A recent update has boosted Helldivers 2's player count significantly on PS5. The "Omens of Tyranny" expansion, unexpectedly unveiled at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received.
This update has delighted Helldivers 2 players, introducing the much-anticipated Illuminate enemy faction, a 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps. Furthermore, with rumors of a Killzone crossover, Helldivers 2 is poised for continued success in 2025.
