Helldivers 2 studio CEO Shams Jorjani is teasing something huge in the nastiest way possible, and you're going to need bigger pants.
You're going to need bigger pants, because Arrowhead lead Jorjani says you're going to shit them again. Yeah. Sorry. Jorjani is continuing a long-running community joke that started in 2025, when Jorjani told a fan wondering what was next for Helldivers 2, "You'll shit your pants" – except, now, Jorjani has delivered the omen in even more frightening binary code.
Fragile cracks are forming in Super Earth's usually solid democracy. As of February 5, official Helldivers 2 accounts have been sharing obtuse, coded Swedish messages, proclamations with no context like "SUPER EARTH PEOPLE. DO NOT BE AFRAID. WE ARE NOT HERE TO CAUSE HARM" (via Google and DeepL). Jorjani reflects these messages in his own February 5 Discord post, in which he writes "01011001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101110 01101110 01100001 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01110000 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011."
Do I need to repeat what that says when it's decoded? You already know. Your pants are very sick.
And Helldivers 2 grunts are seething. They've realized that all these ones and zeroes are signs that the Cyborg faction from Helldivers 1 have taken over Helldivers 2 socials – and Jorjani's mind, apparently – so they demand retribution. But I think what they really should be doing is investing in a bidet.
