Helldivers 3 Not Next as Arrowhead Confirms Social Hub Snub
In a definitive statement that has caught the community’s attention, Arrowhead Game Studios has clarified two major points about its future: Helldivers 2 will not be receiving a social hub, and the studio’s next project is not Helldivers 3.
The news comes from CEO Shams Jorjani, who responded to a player on Discord asking for a shared social space, similar to Destiny 2’s Tower, where players could congregate and show off their hard-earned gear. Jorjani’s response was straightforward: “It’s on the feature list for the next one.”
This reply was initially interpreted by fans as a hint towards Helldivers 3. However, Jorjani was quick to clarify, stating, “This was about our next game, not HD3.” This effectively shuts the door on two highly requested features for the foreseeable future: a social hub will not be patched into the current game, and a direct sequel is not the studio’s immediate priority.
This aligns with previous comments from the leadership. Back in July 2024, Jorjani emphasized the health of Helldivers 2, adding that “HD3 is hopefully many years away.” This philosophy of continuous, substantial expansion was echoed by former CEO and current Creative Director Johan Pilestedt, who suggested last year that the team was effectively “growing Helldivers 2 into Helldivers 3” through relentless content updates.
Given the game’s monumental success since its February 2024 release—becoming one of the most explosive live service titles in recent memory—the decision to focus on expanding the current universe rather than rushing a sequel will likely be seen as a positive by its dedicated player base. The game continues to be a powerhouse, regularly featuring on lists of the best co-op games and best PC games.
For now, players will continue to use their ship as a personal mini-hub, and the dream of a grand, democratic space station whereLiberty-loving citizens can mingle will have to wait for a future title from the acclaimed studio.
