Helldivers 2 Is Arrowhead's Main Focus for the Long Haul

Arrowhead Game Studios, the developer behind Helldivers II, reassures players that the game remains their primary focus despite concerns about their upcoming project, referred to as "Game 6." CEO Shams Jorjani emphasized that content updates for Helldivers II will continue as long as players remain engaged and purchase in-game currency, Super Credits. The game's successful launch has allowed the studio to explore new ideas, but Jorjani confirmed that the main dedication is to Helldivers II for the foreseeable future. They also hope to improve the development process for their next title by focusing on core gameplay elements from the outset. Recent leaks suggest new content like a playable Super Earth map is on the horizon.

Yes, Helldivers II will continue to receive regular updates and content expansions as long as player engagement remains high and players support the game through purchases. Arrowhead is committed to keeping the game alive and developing new features while learning from the ongoing live service experience.

Helldivers II marks a significant achievement for Arrowhead, becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game, with over 12 million copies sold within 12 weeks of its launch. This success highlights the game's popularity and the developer's commitment to enhancing the experience for its players. The original Helldivers gained a dedicated fan base for its cooperative gameplay and humorous take on military tropes, setting a solid foundation for the sequel. As Arrowhead develops Game 6, the studio aims to maintain that same spirit while exploring new gameplay mechanics and ideas.
