Following the success of Helldivers 2, Arrowhead has started working on its new game project and plans to involve its fans in the process.
Shown as one of the best games of 2024 Helldivers 2was highly appreciated by both its sales success and the gaming community. Following this success, the game’s producer, Arrowhead Game Studios, began to focus on new game projects. Arrowhead COO Johan Pilestedt announced on Twitter that the studio has started the “High Concept” process for its next game. Pilestedt also asked fans to contribute their ideas to this process.
From the Success of Helldivers 2 to New Projects
Helldivers 2 stood out especially with its multiplayer mode and won the “Best Multiplayer Game of the Year” award in 2024. Players had a pleasant experience in this game, which is constantly updated with new content. However, Arrowhead is not only limited to its current game but is making big plans for the future.
According to Pilestedt’s statement, the studio is currently in a “High Concept” phase. This process is the most basic stage of a game idea, where the concept is briefly and clearly defined. Pilestedt asked fans on Twitter, “What are your expectations and wishes for the next Arrowhead game?” he asked. This means fans can share their opinions and direct the studio’s new project.
While Arrowhead focuses on its new projects, it does not forget Helldivers 2. Latest leaks show that innovations such as a new “Wildlife System” and “Weapons Attachment System” are on the way to be added to the game. These updates will allow players to interact more on planets and customize their equipment more.
Arrowhead aims to create an interactive development process in its new game by taking into consideration the opinions of its fans. These new projects, built on the success of Helldivers 2, seem to further strengthen the studio’s creativity and bond with the players.
