In a recent interview with IGN, Arrowhead's production director, Alex Bolle, expressed the studio's long-term commitment to Helldivers 2. Bolle emphasized the team's goal to thrive in a live game environment and continue developing the game while staying true to their creative vision. He highlighted the excitement of adapting new ideas and systems that they wouldn't have considered a year ago at the game's launch. "I've worked on live games before and it's where you feel like you have something you can figure out: what if I would do this cool thing I've seen in other games and adapt it to our sauce, that still makes it true to ourselves?" Bolle shared.
With Arrowhead teasing significant updates and new features, fans of Helldivers 2 have much to look forward to. The studio's commitment to ongoing development and creative innovation promises a bright future for the game.
