Helldivers 2 developers consider making a game satirizing artificial intelligence

Arrowhead's head does not rule out that the studio might make a separate satirical game about an AI deity.

Arrowhead creative director Johan Pilestedt admitted the possibility of creating a game satirizing generative artificial intelligence, emphasizing that the project should be fun rather than grim and would not be part of the Helldivers series.

AI has deserved a parody since the '80s, and I could definitely see a game where you are stuck in a world with an AI overlord that is essentially a deity.

According to him, the studio's need for robot adversaries is already met by the Automatons from Helldivers 2. Therefore, such an idea would require making a new game.

Pilestedt also explained that not everyone likes the satire in Helldivers, but many players gladly play along with the joke.

Humor doesn't hide the message, it delivers it.
