Arrowhead CCO favors improving Helldivers 2 over making a similar sequel

A small team was prototyping Arrowhead's next game while 95% of the studio was working on Helldivers 2 updates, Johan Pilestedt told Rock Paper Shotgun, according to VGC. The Arrowhead CCO favors continuing the existing game and argues that a distinct sequel makes sense only if both games could coexist. VGC's account does not establish whether the prototype is Helldivers 3.
