Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released a year ago), is currently developing a "high-concept" game. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project and solicit 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 game" genre.
While specifics remain undisclosed, Arrowhead's community engagement is evident. The studio's next title faces high expectations following the success of Helldivers 2, a standout game of 2024.
A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, the 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps, has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The update, a surprise release during the 2024 Game Awards, has been well-received. With a rumored Killzone crossover also on the horizon, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
