creative director of Helldivers 2 expresses a desire for a sequel to the chaotic cooperative game that spawned Arrowhead, but admits that revisiting it induces fear: "Nevertheless, I aspire to do it at some point."
In the gaming world, anticipation is building as Arrowhead Game Studios, the minds behind the popular Helldivers series, prepare to embark on their next adventure. Johan Pilestedt, the chief creative officer at Arrowhead, will be leading the charge.
After the release of Helldivers 2, Arrowhead is taking a slightly different approach with their next game. Instead of a large core team, they are opting for a smaller group to kick-start the project. The title of the upcoming game remains a secret, but it's expected to have a more expansive scope, similar to the leap from Helldivers to Helldivers 2.
The spirit of another beloved game, Magicka, might find a new life in Arrowhead's next project. Magicka, a cult hit when it first launched in 2011, was known for its unique gameplay that involved living with the consequences of friendly fire. There have been rumours about a potential Magicka 3D, and when asked about it, Johan Pilestedt expressed his interest in making it at some point.
However, Johan also expressed some apprehension about revisiting Magicka due to its personal connections with the founders of the studio. The gameplay in Magicka and Helldivers 2 share similarities, such as combining elements into spells or Stratagems, which could hint at a potential connection between the two games.
The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio has been open about their experiences, stating that starting with a big team for their game was "bad". This approach seems to be influencing Arrowhead's strategy for their next project, as the CEO of Helldivers 2 studio also mentioned that the pre-production of Arrowhead's next game will start with a smaller team.
Johan Pilestedt took a moment to express his gratitude to the Helldivers community, thanking them for their support. Despite the speculation about Magicka 3D and the potential connection between the two games, it's important to note that there are currently no plans for a sequel to Magicka.
As for the release date of Arrowhead's next game, that detail remains elusive. The CEO did not specify the title of the game in their statement, leaving fans eagerly waiting for more information. For now, the gaming community can only guess and speculate about what Arrowhead Game Studios has in store for us.
