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 this, inviting fan input.

Community suggestions ranged widely, including a Smash TV remake and various Star Fox-inspired titles. Pilestedt confirmed prior internal consideration of a Smash TV remake and hinted at a Star Fox-esque project within the "rail game" genre.

While specifics remain under wraps, Arrowhead's active community engagement is evident. Helldivers 2's success, a standout title of 2024, sets a high benchmark for their next endeavor.

A recent update for Helldivers 2, including the highly anticipated Illuminate enemy faction, the 4x4 Fast Recon Vehicle, and new urban warfare maps, has significantly boosted player numbers on PS5. The update, a surprise reveal at the 2024 Game Awards (shadow-dropped as "Omens of Tyranny"), has been well-received.

The enthusiastic player response to the new content, particularly the long-awaited Illuminate faction, suggests a bright future for Helldivers 2. Coupled with rumors of a Killzone crossover, the co-op shooter is poised for continued success in 2025.
