Arrowhead Studios, fresh off the overwhelmingly positive reception of Helldivers 2 (released just a year ago), is currently developing a new, high-concept game. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to announce the project and solicit fan input.

Community suggestions ranged widely, from a Smash TV remake to Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior consideration of a Smash TV remake and even hinted at a Star Fox-esque "rail game."

While specifics remain under wraps, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. The studio's next title faces high expectations following Helldivers 2's success as one of 2024's standout games.

A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the long-awaited Illuminate enemy faction, a 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.

This update has clearly delighted Helldivers 2 players, addressing long-standing requests. Coupled with rumors of a Killzone crossover, Helldivers 2 appears poised for continued success in 2025.
