Helldivers 2 CEO Teases Exciting Updates: 'You'll Be Amazed'

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for some exciting news, and Arrowhead Game Studios seems confident it will leave players in awe. As reported by VideoGamer, Arrowhead's CEO, Shams Jorjani, hinted at the upcoming content during a discussion on the game's Discord. When a user asked for any tidbits on what's coming, Jorjani's response was both cryptic and bold:

"You'll shit your pants."

While not offering specifics, this statement certainly sets the stage for impactful updates. And perhaps a reminder to have spare pants handy.

Jorjani also addressed other queries, mentioning the desire to introduce more bladed weapons and providing thoughtful insights into managing content droughts and the technical challenges of maintaining a game like Helldivers 2. It's refreshing to see such openness about the game's development alongside humorous remarks about the potential impact on our attire.

There have been hints about what's to come, including a flag featuring both a sharp end and a grippy section. Arrowhead has set May 8 as the target date to unveil its next Warbond, with promises of more thrilling announcements following soon after.

In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director, Alex Bolle, emphasized the studio's long-term commitment to Helldivers 2. Bolle expressed enthusiasm about thriving in a live service environment and exploring new systems that align with the team's creative vision.

"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 told IGN. "I've worked on live games before and it's where you feel like you have something you can figure out: what if I would do this cool thing I've seen in other games and adapt it to our sauce, that still makes it true to ourselves? I'm looking forward to this moment."

We'll begin to discover what exciting developments Arrowhead has planned for Helldivers 2 next week. It might be wise to have some extra pants on standby.
