"Helldivers 2 has been one of the big live service success stories of 2025, but there may be a new way to play the multiplayer title in the future. Arrowhead Game Studios CCO and Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt has revealed that there is a prototype version of a roguelite mode, and he hinted that it brings some big changes to the game. Pilestedt shared the news while replying to a message on social media, adding that "It changes the game fundamentally!""
"It's currently unclear what the roguelite version of Helldivers 2 would entail, and whether it will ultimately be released. The only thing that Pilestedt has confirmed is that a roguelite prototype exists. Everything else is speculation for now. The Helldivers 2 dev team recently disclosed that it's taking a break from the content roadmap to focus on fixing the various critical bugs that have popped up. To that end, director Mikael Eriksson announced that Helldivers 2 will be releasing patches every two weeks in the hope that this will allow the team to resume work on the content roadmap soon."
