Helldivers 2 CEO Says You'll 'Sh*t Your Pants' Over What's Coming Down the Pipe

Helldivers 2 fans, get ready for some exciting news! Arrowhead Game Studios, the developers behind the game, are teasing some major updates that promise to leave players in awe. As reported by VideoGamer, Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani hinted at upcoming content during a discussion in the game's Discord. When asked about what's on the horizon, Jorjani's response was both cryptic and thrilling: "You'll shit your pants." While he didn't dive into specifics, his statement certainly suggests that the impact of these updates will be significant—and perhaps even startling.

During the same session, Jorjani fielded other questions, touching on topics like the potential addition of more bladed weapons and addressing concerns about content droughts. He also shared insights into managing the game's technical debt over time, showcasing a level of transparency that's refreshing to see alongside the playful banter about distressing your jeans.

Arrowhead has already dropped some hints about what's to come, including a tease involving a flag with both a pointy end and a grippy section. The studio is gearing up to announce its next Warbond on May 8, with promises of "more exciting news to come not long after."

In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director Alex Bolle emphasized the studio's long-term vision for Helldivers 2. Bolle expressed a desire for the studio to thrive for "years and years and years to come," while continuing to develop the game in a way that remains true to their creative vision. He noted, "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's experience with live games fuels his excitement for exploring new ideas and adapting them to fit Helldivers 2's unique flavor.

As we approach the announcement next week, it's clear that Arrowhead has some game-changing updates in store. Helldivers 2 fans might want to stock up on extra pants—just in case.
