Helldivers 2 studio CEO Shams Jorjani has revealed one lesson that Arrowhead Game Studios has learned from its experience with its latest hit shooter, and that's to start out with "a small team" when it comes to the pre-production stage of its eventual next game.

At the time of writing, Arrowhead hasn't confirmed that it's working on any brand new games, but that's not stopping fans from being curious about the future. Asked in the official Helldivers Discord server if it's true that Arrowhead has "enough capital to fund their own next game," as well as what lessons the team has learned from Helldivers 2, Jorjani admits, "that’s quite the big question."
