Helldivers 2 CEO Teases Terrifying Updates Coming Soon

Get ready, Helldivers 2 fans—Arrowhead Game Studios is about to drop some news that's bound to make waves. As shared by VideoGamer, Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani hinted at the exciting developments during a conversation on the game's Discord. When asked about future updates, Jorjani's response was, "You'll shit your pants." While he didn't spill the beans on specifics, his statement certainly suggests that the upcoming content will be impactful—and potentially pants-ruining.

Jorjani also fielded other questions, touching on the addition of more bladed weapons and addressing concerns about content droughts. He offered a transparent look at the technical challenges of managing a game like Helldivers 2, and how the team plans to tackle these over time. It's refreshing to see such openness, combined with light-hearted comments about distressing your jeans.

Teasers have already hinted at what's on the horizon, including a flag sporting both a pointy end and a grippy section. Arrowhead is set to announce its next Warbond on May 8, with promises of "more exciting news to come not long after."

In a recent chat with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle emphasized the studio's long-term vision, stating they want to be around for "years and years and years to come." Bolle explained that the team is focused on developing Helldivers 2 while staying true to their creative goals. "The more we figure out how to thrive in a live environment, and we still have a way to go to figure out a lot of things around that, the more we can let creativity loose on new systems that we would've never thought about a year ago when we released," Bolle shared. He also expressed enthusiasm about adapting cool features from other games to fit Helldivers 2's unique style.

The wait won't be long—next week, we'll begin to uncover the exciting new elements Arrowhead has in store for Helldivers 2. You might want to stock up on extra pants, just in case.
