Exciting times are ahead for fans of Helldivers 2, as developer Arrowhead Game Studios is teasing some major updates that are sure to make waves. In a recent chat on the game's Discord, Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani hinted at upcoming content with a bold statement. When a user inquired about what's coming next, Jorjani's response was, "You'll shit your pants." While this doesn't give us specifics, it certainly sets the stage for something impactful—and perhaps a bit startling.
Jorjani also fielded other questions, touching on the desire to introduce more bladed weapons and addressing concerns about potential content droughts. He offered a candid look at managing the game's technical debt over time, blending transparency with humor, which is always a refreshing approach.
Teasers have already hinted at what's on the horizon, including a flag featuring both a pointy end and a grippy section. Arrowhead has set May 8 as the target date for announcing its next Warbond, with promises of more thrilling news to follow shortly after.
In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle expressed the studio's long-term commitment to Helldivers 2. Bolle emphasized the team's ongoing efforts to thrive in a live game environment, stating, "The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, and we still have a way to go to figure out a lot of things around that, the more we can let creativity loose on new systems that we would've never thought about a year ago when we released." He also shared his enthusiasm for adapting innovative ideas from other games while staying true to Arrowhead's unique style.
As we approach next week's announcements, fans might want to keep some extra pants handy. Arrowhead Game Studios is clearly gearing up to deliver some unforgettable updates for Helldivers 2.
