Arrowhead Game Studios boss Shams Jorjani has assured fans that Helldivers 2 will remain alive and kicking for as long fans continue to play, after fans start to question how long the game would be supported in wake of news that Johan Pilestedt would be taking a sabbatical.
Speaking on the Helldvers 2 Discord, Jorjani made it clear that Helldivers 2 isn’t going anywhere as long as there’s a community for it. As long as people play, pay, and we can build a business case around it, we’ll support it to hell and back. If we can keep it going for 10 years we will.”

The lead for the game is Mikael Eriksson and has been for the last few years. Johan’s role as a senior creative is to support all our projects. So he’ll absolutely still be involved – in the same way he’s been the past year – gives input on high-level plans and collaborates with designers on some stuff. The vast majority of Helldivers is a team effort – it’s not one Jesus figure.
Helldivers 2 was released for the PS5 and PC in February 2024 and is continuing to receive extensive support from Arrowhead Games, including frequent patches to improve overall performance, such as crash fixes and optimising online play. You can read our full review of the game here.
