Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the resounding success of Helldivers 2 (released last year to rave reviews), is currently developing a new game concept. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media, announcing work on a "high-concept" project and inviting fan input.
Community suggestions ranged 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-esque project within the "rail shooter" genre.
While specifics remain under wraps, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. Helldivers 2's stellar performance in 2024—one of the year's standout titles—sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.
A recent update significantly boosted Helldivers 2's PS5 player count. The "Omens of Tyranny" expansion, surprise-released at the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received.
This update delighted players, introducing the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, a 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps. With rumors of a Killzone crossover swirling, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
