Helldivers 2 has enjoyed a powerful launch window, and developer Arrowhead is already talking about where the game goes from here. The team discussed its narrative approach and sketched plans for the next major phases of the Galactic War as players continue to take the fight to Cyberstan.

  • Strong early momentum: The game’s opening period has been well received, giving Arrowhead room to expand its ambitions for future content and story beats.
  • New hardware in play: A recent update introduced heavier weaponry, shifting tactics and opening fresh ways to tackle entrenched enemies on the battlefield.
  • Automatons escalation: An enemy faction seized a vast orbital construct, creating the pretext for Super Earth’s upcoming offensive against the Cyborgs of Cyberstan.
  • Narrative model revealed: Arrowhead’s director outlined how the game’s story will be delivered across future updates and major war-driven events rather than a single linear campaign.
  • Eyes on the long game: The studio is positioning Helldivers 2 as an evolving warfront, with planned steps to broaden the conflict and deepen player impact on the galactic campaign.
