Arrowhead Game Studios Commits to Helldivers II's Future
The incredibly successful launch and ongoing content support for Helldivers II have brought a huge surge in players to Arrowhead Game Studios. Naturally, this success has led many fans to wonder about a potential third installment in the series. However, players will need to curb their expectations for now, as the studio currently has no plans to develop Helldivers III.
This news comes directly from CEO Shams Jorjani, who addressed the topic on the official studio Discord server. The discussion arose as gamers speculated about an upcoming optimization patch planned for October and what Arrowhead might be preparing for Helldivers III. Jorjani clearly stated the company's intention to extend Helldivers II's lifespan as much as possible, providing updates until players no longer wish to engage with the game.
“We have no plans for Helldivers III—only for Helldivers II as long as it’s relevant. The other directors and I want to make this game ‘eternal.’ If we can achieve the right level of optimization and production quality, we can expand it for a very long time, and PlayStation supports us in this.”

Jorjani's statement highlights a clear strategy: to invest deeply in Helldivers II, ensuring it remains fresh and engaging for years to come rather than immediately shifting focus to a sequel. This commitment to long-term support, backed by PlayStation, suggests a future filled with new content, improved performance, and a continually evolving galactic war against the enemies of Managed Democracy.
It's also worth remembering that Arrowhead is planning another new game, currently known under the codename 'Game 6'. While details about this project are scarce, it’s known that its production is entirely self-funded by the studio, allowing the developers complete creative freedom. This indicates that while Helldivers II will receive ongoing attention, Arrowhead is also looking ahead to new, original experiences.
For players, this news means a strong future for Helldivers II. Instead of waiting for a new installment, they can expect continued development, enhancements, and fresh content for their current favorite game, making the fight for Super Earth a truly enduring adventure.
