Helldivers 3? Not while Helldivers 2 is still chugging

Helldivers 2 has only been around for a little over a year and a half – and what a time it's been for the mega-best-seller – but developer Arrowhead Game Studios apparently already has ambitions to continue updating the live service juggernaut for... forever?

Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani lifted the curtain a little bit this week in a series of messages on the game's Discord server, where he explained the studio has "no plans for [Helldivers 3] – just [Helldivers 2] for as long as it can go" before telling folks to "think RuneScape" to get an idea of how it would work.
