Helldivers 2 creative director wishes he could make a sequel to the chaotic co-op game that launched Arrowhead, but returning to it "scares" him: "I would like to do it at some point though"

We're still waiting to find out what the next title from Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead Game Studios will be, and it sounds like the studio itself is still working that out too. Sadly, it seems we won't be getting a sequel to Magicka, the game that put Arrowhead on the map, this time around. It's not that chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt doesn't want to do it – he's just a little afraid to.

Today, Pilestedt offered a heartfelt "thank you" to the entire Helldivers community for being so kind to all the new players coming in with the game's Xbox launch, echoing similar comments from CEO Shams Jorjani earlier this week. As part of that post, he also mentioned that he's overseeing "direction of the next game" in his current role.
