With Helldivers 2 still going strong, despite having to navigate some difficult moments since its launch last year, the top dog at developer Arrowhead has revealed that it is now exploring some "cool concepts" for its next game, which will also be "100%" funded by the Swedish studio. This confirms that Arrowhead won't be continuing its partnership with Sony and Playstation for its next project, even though "there would be no Helldivers if it wasn't for them."

With the latest twist in Helldivers 2's conflict seeing the Illuminate push players towards battling on Super Earth itself, developer Arrowhead has revealed that it's making an important change to how the Galactic War - more specifically planet liberation - works.
