Right, so. Over the past day or so, a pretty serious glitch has been plaguing Helldivers 2 - it let cheeky players spawn in so many stratagems at once the game would crash. Thankfully, Arrowhead's quickly gotten on the case and released an "emergency hotfix" to tackle it.
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."

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios are cooking. I'm not exactly sure what just yet, but there's a faint aroma of a new game in the air, and it doesn't seem like they're ready to share anything about the game right now either. Still, after the runaway success of Helldivers 2, something new from the studio is still an exciting prospect. Interestingly enough though, whatever they're making, it won't have anything to do with PlayStation when it comes to funding.
There's plenty to keep us all engaged with Helldivers 2 in-game Galactic War right now. While he's keen to emphasise that game remains Arrowhead's "main focus" now and going forwards, studio CEO Shams Jorjani has chatted a bit about the studio's plans for its next game in his latest chinwag with players on Discord.
