Helldivers 2 studio CEO Shams Jorjani has revealed one lesson that Arrowhead Game Studios has discovered from its expertise with its newest hit shooter, and that’s to start out with “a small team” in the case of the pre-production stage of its eventual next game.
On the time of writing, Arrowhead hasn’t confirmed that it is engaged on any model new video games, however that’s not stopping followers from being curious in regards to the future. Requested within the official Helldivers Discord server if it is true that Arrowhead has “sufficient capital to fund their very own next game,” in addition to what classes the team has discovered from Helldivers 2, (*2*) “that’s fairly the big query.”
He would not contact on the funding aspect of the query, however says Arrowhead has discovered “tons” from its most up-to-date hit. “One is that we start pre-production with a small team,” he continues. “HD2 started with a big team and that was baaaaad.”
Jorjani would not give any precise numbers right here, so it is not clear what his cut-off level for a small team is. In a speak at GDC earlier this 12 months, Arrowhead senior supplies artist Romain Lemaire revealed that “there have been 20 individuals originally of the challenge,” earlier than the quantity expanded to “105 at launch,” and then round 130 individuals as of this March.
As for when the studio’s next game will truly occur, effectively, that’s one other matter. Requested about potential plans for a Helldivers 3 final month, Jorjani stated that “we actually are specializing in the right here and now. HD3 is hopefully a few years away.”
I imply, there’s nothing to say that Arrowhead may not make a utterly totally different game within the meantime, however nonetheless, it sounds just like the devs are fairly happy with bettering and increasing Helldivers 2 for now.
Helldivers 2 CEO says it’s best to thank Sony for the game’s Xbox port though “we have been all in assist,” and “we get a lot of assist from PlayStation” with bug fixing.
