Arrowhead Games Studios CEO Shams Jorjani wants to ensure Helldivers 2 players know that, while the studio has “some really cool concepts” for its next game, it won’t be abandoning Helldivers 2 anytime soon.
As spotted by VG247, Jorjani messaged Helldivers 2 players in a Discord server about the game and what the studio has cooking next. “[T]he wonderful thing is that thanks to the amazing support of you FINE people Arrowhead’s future is quite bright and we have the freedom to explore some really cool concepts that we couldn’t have otherwise. Game 6 (our next project) will happen the way it will happen thanks to you,” he wrote. His words prompted a bit of worry from players thinking that this meant the studio would be moving on from supporting Helldivers 2, but he told them to hold their horses.
“[N]ah. it’s ALL Helldivers 2 for now. a very, very small team will spin up something later this year and go at it sloowly. Helldivers is our main focus and will be for a loooong time,” Jorjani wrote. How long a “loooong time” will be isn’t immediately clear; Helldivers 2 is just over a year old, which is quite young for a successful live service game, so it could theoretically have a long life ahead of it.
