Exciting developments are brewing for Helldivers 2, with Arrowhead Game Studios exuding confidence for what's ahead. The studio's CEO has even issued a cheeky warning - you might want to brace yourself.
A Bold Promise From the CEO
As reported by VideoGamer, an exchange on the game's official Discord channel revealed some tantalizing hints. When a player asked Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani about upcoming content, his response wasn't exactly subtle:
"You'll shit your pants."
While this doesn't give away specifics, it certainly conveys the magnitude of what's coming. And yes, potentially the laundry consequences too.
More Than Just Dramatic Announcements
Beyond the bombastic promise, Jorjani shared meaningful insights during the Q&A session. He acknowledged fan requests for more melee weapons and addressed concerns about content gaps with refreshing honesty. What stands out is the studio's transparent approach to handling Helldivers 2's technical debt - a rare glimpse behind the scenes that complements the playful banter.
The developers have already dropped some breadcrumbs, including a mysterious flag design featuring both a sharp point and textured grip area. Currently targeting May 8 for their next Warbond reveal, Arrowhead promises even bigger announcements will follow shortly after.
Long-Term Vision for Helldivers 2
In a recent IGN interview, production director Alex Bolle emphasized Arrowhead's commitment to sustainable, creative growth. "We want to be here for years to come," Bolle stated, explaining how the team is learning to balance live operations with their creative vision.
"The more we master live game development - and we're still learning - the more freedom we'll have to implement innovative systems we couldn't have imagined at launch," Bolle told IGN. "Having worked on live games before, I know that moment when you find that perfect adaptation of great ideas into your own unique style - that's what excites me."
The wait won't be long - we'll discover Arrowhead's surprises as early as next week. You might indeed want to keep that extra pair of pants handy.
