Excitement is building around *Helldivers 2* as developer Arrowhead Game Studios teases upcoming news that promises to be impactful. In a recent interaction on the game's Discord, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani responded to a fan's inquiry about future updates with a bold claim: "You'll shit your pants." While not providing specifics, Jorjani's statement hints at the significant effect the upcoming content will have on players.
During the conversation, Jorjani also touched on other topics, including the addition of more bladed weapons and addressing concerns about potential content droughts. The transparency regarding the management of the game's technical debt was appreciated by the community, blending humor with insightful development discussions.
Hints about what's to come have already been dropped, with a flag featuring both a pointy end and a grippy section being teased. Arrowhead has set May 8 as the target date for announcing their next Warbond, with promises of more exciting news following shortly thereafter.
In an interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle expressed the studio's long-term commitment to *Helldivers 2*. Bolle emphasized the team's desire to thrive in a live game environment, allowing for creative exploration of new systems that align with the game's unique identity. "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 highlighted the excitement of adapting innovative ideas from other games to enhance *Helldivers 2* while staying true to the team's vision.
As we approach the reveal next week, fans are advised to prepare themselves—perhaps even bringing an extra pair of pants—for what Arrowhead has in store for *Helldivers 2*.
