Arrowhead has a lot of exciting plans for the future of Helldivers 2. The Democracy Space Station has just been activated, the Illuminate are still inbound, and there has been a lot of content unearthed through datamines. While not all datamined content will become reality, Arrowhead has claimed in a new interview that vehicles will be “added soon” in Helldivers 2.
While we are past the 60-day roadmap of massive buffs, Arrowhead has revealed their intentions for the near future. They are working on improvements for the DSS following poor response from players, meanwhile, they are also looking to fix excessive ragdolling while also revamping the jet pack.
As for leaks, datamines have uncovered a mysterious new weapon, and other leaks have revealed old Dune weapons and armor possibly reserved for a Premium Warbond. Vehicles were leaked earlier this year, and now Arrowhead has said they will be “added soon” for Helldivers 2 fans to enjoy.
Vehicles will be “added soon” to Helldivers 2
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani and Helldivers 2 creative director, Johan Pilestedt, recently spoke at Korean gaming conference, G-Star. The interview is posted on Korean outlet, Inven, and it has thankfully been translated on Reddit by user Creepy_Ad3991.
During the conference, they were asked if they could talk about “wheeled vehicles, armored vehicles, or reconnaissance vehicles”.
Both Jorjani and Pilestedt initially responded in jest with Pilestedt joking “Super Earth is conducting various experiments to improve the mobility of Helldivers”. Jorjani also joked “Vehicles are too expensive. Super Earth is sensitive to the economics of the battlefield and doubts the driving skills of Helldivers”.
After also jesting about whether or not Helldivers are old enough to drive, Pilestedt added “On a more serious note, vehicle updates are in the plans. It will be added soon, but I don’t think I can go into more detail than that”.
It is a translated interview, so there may be some inaccuracies with specific wording, but the above is good news to hear. Granted, “soon” is a very loose phrase that has no specific ETA, but at least we know vehicles are officially planned for a future update.
There were gameplay leaks of vehicles earlier in the year. Footage still exists on X from Mr_Rebs_, but other gameplay footage has been removed. Either way, vehicles were leaked, and they are officially on the way albeit with no specific release window.
