Helldivers 2 CEO Previews Major New Features

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for some exciting announcements, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios seems confident players will be impressed. As the studio's CEO puts it, you might want to brace yourself.

As noted by VideoGamer, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani was engaging with the Helldivers 2 community on Discord when a user asked if he could share even a small detail about what lies ahead. His reply?

"You'll be blown away."

While the specifics remain under wraps, the comment certainly builds anticipation for the impact of the upcoming reveals—and hints at the potential shock to your system.

Jorjani also addressed other player questions, highlighting a desire to introduce more melee weapons and offering thoughtful responses to concerns about content gaps. The team's openness regarding the technical challenges of maintaining a game like Helldivers 2, and how they manage them over time, is refreshing to see alongside playful remarks about surprising the community.

Previous teasers have already hinted at what’s coming—including imagery of a flag featuring both a pointed tip and a textured grip. Currently, Arrowhead is targeting May 8 to unveil its next Warbond, with "more exciting news to follow shortly after."

In a recent IGN interview, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle shared that the studio aims to support the game for “many years to come.” The team remains committed to evolving Helldivers 2 while staying authentic to their creative vision.

"As we become more adept at thriving in a live service environment—though we still have plenty to learn—the more room we have to experiment with new systems we hadn’t even considered a year ago at launch," Bolle told IGN. "Having worked on live games before, it’s exciting to explore ideas from other titles and adapt them to fit our unique style, ensuring everything we do stays true to who we are. I’m really looking forward to that phase."

We won’t have to wait long to see what Arrowhead has planned for Helldivers 2. The revelations begin next week—so you might want to keep your expectations high.
