Helldivers 3 "only makes sense" if it's so unlike Helldivers 2 "that both games can exist side by side", says Arrowhead boss

Arrowhead chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt says there are still no plans for Helldivers 3, with 95% of the studio on Helldivers 2 and a small team prototyping the next unannounced game. He argued a sequel resets everything and forces players to start over, and that Helldivers 2 itself would be the biggest competitor to Helldivers 3. The studio currently has around 150 people.
