'Think RuneScape' — Arrowhead CEO Rules Out Helldivers 3, Will Keep Updating Helldivers 2 'For as Long as It Can Go'

The Arrowhead studio's CEO has announced that they have no plans for Helldivers 3 at the moment. Instead, the focus is on continuously updating and supporting Helldivers 2 for the foreseeable future, much like the long-running MMORPG RuneScape. The CEO stated that the studio's goal is to keep Helldivers 2 going "for as long as it can go," indicating a long-term commitment to the game's development and maintenance. This decision suggests that Arrowhead sees more value in building upon and expanding the existing Helldivers 2 experience rather than starting from scratch with a new installment. The article emphasizes Arrowhead's desire to emulate the longevity and ongoing support seen in RuneScape, which has remained popular and actively updated for over two decades. This approach reflects a shift in the game industry towards sustaining and evolving existing titles rather than solely relying on releasing new games.
