Arrowhead Games Studios recently released a major update for Helldivers 2, which added new enemy units to the Illuminate faction. In addition to new foes, the update also gave gamers the ability to customize their weapons. As a player uses a weapon, they level it up, which then allows them to add new patterns, scopes, and more. The ability to customize one's weapons has been highly requested by the community for quite some time, and the developers expressed a lot of excitement about handing the new feature over to the players. Many fans were excited and immediately began testing out new weapon combinations and loadouts.

In a recent post on Twitter, Arrowhead Game Studios announced that it was launching a major Heart of Democracy update, which showed the Illuminate launching a full-scale assault on Super Earth. While this has come as a surprise to some gamers, it was recently leaked that Helldivers 2 would be receiving another major update where the Illuminate would advance on the home of the Helldivers. This update doesn't appear to include any new enemies, but it is introducing the first appearance of Mega Cities, which seem to be different from the game's existing urban environments. These Mega Cities appear to have taller buildings, tighter alleyways, civilians, and even playgrounds, because it seems as if nothing is beyond the Illuminate's grasp.

A large portion of the community is even more eager to explore the new Mega Cities and see what the fresh maps have to offer.
The CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, Shams Jorjani, recently shared that the studio's next game after Helldivers 2 is in the early concept stages. He also stated that a very small team will begin development on the project in 2025, but the vast majority of Arrowhead Game Studios' resources would remain dedicated to the continual support of Helldivers 2. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many players are feeling optimistic about the future of the popular cooperative shooter.
