Arrowhead Studios Confirm Plans For Helldivers 3 In A New Statement

Expert Verified By

The Game Is Likely Years Away From Launch!

Story Highlight
  • While answering a fan query, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has officially confirmed plans for Helldivers 3.
  • The next game is planned to feature a social hub space station like the Tower from Destiny 2.
  • That said, it is likely years away from launch, as the studio is currently focused on supporting Helldivers 2.

Update: Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has clarified recent confirmation about the ‘next’ game having a social hub feature. Despite the heavy implication of it being Helldivers 3, Shams claims he was only referring to Arrowhead’s next game in question. 

Ever since launch, Helldivers 2 has dominated the otherwise exhausting and populated live-service genre. It has been successful on PC by allegedly selling twice as many copies as on PS5. And on Xbox, the third-person shooter rolled over a million copies in less than a week. 

While the entry is still seeing active updates and support from developers, it may only be a matter of time before we start seeing glimpses of Helldivers 3. Arrowhead Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has now officially confirmed plans for the next game.

Why it matters: Arrowhead confirming a major Helldivers 3 feature shows the team may already be in the middle of planning the core features for the next iteration. Fans have been extremely pleased after hearing the confirmation.

While answering a fan query on Discord, the Arrowhead CEO mentions that Helldivers 3 will feature a social hub feature like the Tower in Destiny 2, since it cannot be added in Helldivers 2. The blunt confirmation shows that the team is planning the next title in the IP.

It’s on the feature list for the next one.

And with creative director Johan confirming that he was working on a high concept for a new Arrowhead game late last year, many fans believe that work on Helldivers 3 has already started.

The community is quite happy after hearing the official confirmation of plans regarding Helldivers 3. However, the studio is currently mainly focusing on updating Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 still has plenty of life left.

We may also see a lot of fan-requested crossovers for a while, like the most recent Halo collaboration. Therefore, most fans believe that Helldivers 3 will launch in the next 5-6 years at the very least. 

Regardless, it’s also unclear whether Helldivers 3 will stick to using Arrowhead’s proprietary engine or transition to alternatives like Decima or UE5 due to potential restrictions.

Do you think Helldivers 3 will just be an iterative upgrade over the current popular live-service entry, or will it take the game’s concept to a new genre? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
