Helldivers 2 Stays Prioritized Amid Player Engagement

Arrowhead Games Assures Fans: Helldivers 2 Remains Top Priority

Amid growing speculation about their next project codenamed "Game 6," Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has directly addressed Helldivers 2 player concerns during a Discord Q&A following the dramatic Illuminate invasion launch.

"All Helldivers 2 For Now"

When pressed about resource allocation, Jorjani made their position crystal clear: "Nah. It's ALL Helldivers 2 for now." The CEO revealed only a skeleton crew would begin preliminary work on their next title later this year, emphasizing Helldivers 2 remains Arrowhead's primary focus.

The studio's commitment appears directly tied to continued player engagement. "As long as you folks keep playing and buying Super Credits we can keep it going," Jorjani stated, referencing last summer's turnaround from what he called "kinda screwing the pooch" to their current stable position.

Autonomy For Future Projects

Regarding Game 6's development philosophy, Jorjani described learning key lessons from Helldivers 2's grueling eight-year development cycle:

"For our next game we're doing things in a much smarter way and nailing a lot of the core s**t early on...then make the rest."

Production director Alex Bolle reinforced this long-term vision in recent IGN comments:

"We want it to be around for years and years and years to come...The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment...the more we can let creativity loose."

What Lies Ahead

These assurances align with leaks suggesting imminent major expansions, including potential Super Earth battles against the Illuminate faction - keeping the galactic war fresh for Helldivers' devoted playerbase.
