Arrowhead Game Studios has had a massive year. Helldivers 2 became one of the biggest co-op successes of this generation, pushed the studio into global spotlight, and built a player community that’s still active months later. With that kind of momentum, most people assumed Arrowhead would continue focusing solely on supporting Helldivers 2. But inside the studio, something new has already begun to take shape.
While early development details remain tightly under wraps, Arrowhead’s leadership recently revealed that the team has started working on their next major project. The announcement didn’t come with a title, a logo, or even a genre, yet the message behind it was clear: The studio isn’t stepping away from the identity that brought them success.
According to Arrowhead, the new game will stay close to the studio’s co-op action roots, rather than pivot into a completely different style. That means players can expect teamwork-driven combat, chaotic encounters, and the kind of moment-to-moment intensity Helldivers fans associate with the studio. The team emphasized that they want to keep building experiences “the legacy of what we’ve created already” suggesting the core formula will evolve, not disappear.
Helldivers 2 support is still continuing in parallel; updates, balancing passes, and future content drops remain part of the live-service roadmap. But simultaneously, the studio is laying groundwork for a project that could become Arrowhead’s next big step forward.
With Helldivers 2 setting such a high bar, expectations for the new title are already climbing, even without a teaser or screenshot. What would you want from Arrowhead’s next game? Something bigger, something crazier, or something entirely new? Share your opinions and stay tuned to VGNW and follow us on X for the latest updates.
