Helldivers 2 adds "500+ hours" of progression with its big "s**t your pants" update, and Arrowhead's CEO wants to know: "What is the pant situation like?"

Helldivers 2 intro cutscene helldiver thumbs up.

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has been teasing something big for a while now, with the recent hint of "exciting news to come" compounded with the humorous promise made by CEO Shams Jorjani that something in the third-person shooter's pipeline would make everyone "shit [their] pants." Today, it's become apparent what the studio was hinting at with the latest update, and the studio's boss has been checking in on the "pant situation."

Jorjani's promise (arguably, threat) that "you'll shit your pants" thanks to Helldivers 2 has reached peak meme status in the democracy-loving fanbase over the last couple of weeks, with Reddit going "overboard" by the CEO's own description. Following the flood of jokes, he acknowledged that Arrowhead had "better deliver," and it definitely looks like it's pulled it off.
