Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of last year's Helldivers 2, is currently developing a "high-concept" game. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project and solicit fan feedback.
Community suggestions ranged from a Smash TV remake to titles inspired by Star Fox. Pilestedt confirmed that a Smash TV remake has been previously considered, and also hinted at a Star Fox-esque "rail game."
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 venture.
A recent update for Helldivers 2 has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The Omens of Tyranny expansion, surprise-released at the 2024 Game Awards, appears to be a hit.
This update has 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 also swirling, Helldivers 2 looks poised for continued success in 2025.
