Helldivers 2 had a fantastic debut year in 2024, but fans can rest assured knowing Arrowhead are not resting on their laurels for 2025. The developer is keeping plans close to the chest and secret behind the scenes, but more will be announced than just pre-production for a movie. While we don’t officially know what Arrowhead is currently cooking, the developer has just promised Helldivers 2 fans more “exciting things” are “on the way”.
Helldivers 2 dev promises new content is coming
On the Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead developer, Sephez, was asked, “where is the new content?” The developer responded, “on the way!”, and in another message they said, “the teams are working hard on getting more content ready for you”.
While Sephez didn’t spell-out what new content fans can expect, they did tease “exciting things”. The developer was asked if there are “any plans on implementing a DSS common area where more than 4 helldivers can hang out,” and Sephez responded, “Nothing being worked on currently, we’re focusing our efforts on other more exciting things”.

We don’t know what new content is on the way, but the DSS is “currently undergoing maintenance and improvements,” and there is the possibility the knife could become a weapon as Arrowhead admits “it makes sense to have a melee function for it”.
Although leaks are not to be treated as gospel, they could possibly show the exciting new content Arrowhead is working on behind-the-scenes. Recent leaks include a weapon customization system along with a powerful new projectile firing “toxin” rounds. There’s also the recent leak of a “very strong” new enemy.
Hopefully Arrowhead will lay out the roadmap for 2025 soon. They’ve previously said they want to let fans know what’s in store for the year ahead, but they are being cautious as they do not want to overpromise.
