Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released a year ago), 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 community responded with a flurry of suggestions, ranging from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt acknowledged prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and even mentioned exploring a Star Fox-inspired concept within the "rail game" genre.

While specifics remain under wraps, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The studio’s next project faces high expectations, following the remarkable success of Helldivers 2 – a standout title of 2024.

A recent update has significantly boosted Helldivers 2's player count on PS5. The "Omens of Tyranny" expansion, a surprise release 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. With rumors of a Killzone crossover also swirling, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
