Helldivers 2's Next Update Promises to Be Mind-Blowing
Helldivers 2 fans should brace themselves for groundbreaking news, according to developer Arrowhead Game Studios. The studio's CEO Shams Jorjani teased upcoming changes so significant they might literally shock players.
During a Discord Q&A spotted by VideoGamer, when asked about future content, Jorjani responded with: "You'll shit your pants." While cryptic, this colorful prediction suggests the update will deliver substantial gameplay impact.
Beyond Just Pants-Ruining Updates
Arrowhead's team addressed several player concerns during the discussion:
- Plans to expand melee weapon options
- Transparent discussions about managing technical debt
- Strategies to prevent content droughts
The developers recently hinted at new content featuring hybrid weapon designs - possibly referencing teased flags combining sharp and grip elements. An official Warbond announcement is scheduled for May 8, with additional reveals following shortly after.
Sustained Live Service Vision
Production director Alex Bolle emphasized Arrowhead's long-term commitment in an IGN interview, stating:
"We want Helldivers 2 to evolve creatively while maintaining our core identity. As we master live operations, we're enabling innovations we couldn't have imagined at launch."
The studio aims to adapt successful live-service elements from other games while preserving Helldivers' signature style.
With major reveals beginning next week, devoted Helldivers might want to keep spare trousers handy - just in case Arrowhead's promises hold true.
