Arrowhead: Helldivers 3 only if it's different enough to coexist with Helldivers 2

Arrowhead chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt said a Helldivers sequel only makes sense if it is so different from Helldivers 2 that both games can exist side by side. About 95% of the ~150-person studio is focused on Helldivers 2, while a small team prototypes the next game.

• 95% of the studio works on Helldivers 2; new game is in prototyping
• Arrowhead has around 150 staff and plans to grow on its own terms
• Pilestedt opposes a sequel that forces players to start over
• Helldivers 2 has about 47,097 concurrent players on Steam
