Arrowhead Studios CEO Shams Jorjani officially confirmed that the team has plans for Helldivers 3 in response to a fan's question.
According to him, the next game in the series will have a social hub on a space station, reminiscent of the Tower from Destiny 2. However, the release will have to wait a long time — the studio is focused on supporting Helldivers 2. Jorjani later clarified that when talking about a new game with a similar function, he meant "Arrowhead's next project," but the wording still confirmed that Helldivers 3 is already in development.
Helldivers 2 has been steadily holding its own in the market since its release and stands out among games-as-a-service. The developers continue to release updates, including recent crossovers like Halo, so the second part still has a lot of time ahead.
Despite this, players are confident that the third part is already in the early stages of creation. Creative Director Johan mentioned working on the concept of a new Arrowhead game at the end of last year, which fueled the rumors. The community greeted the confirmation of plans with joy, although the developers emphasize that Helldivers 2 is currently the priority.
According to forecasts, Helldivers 3 will not appear for another 5–6 years. At the same time, the question remains whether the studio will keep its own engine or switch to Decima or Unreal Engine 5 due to possible limitations.
