Arrowhead Games Aims to Become the Next FromSoftware or Blizzard

Arrowhead Games, the developer behind the unexpectedly successful Helldivers 2, aims to become as influential as From Software or Blizzard. Helldivers 2, a co-op third-person shooter, has sold 12 million copies in three months, making it PlayStation's fastest-selling game. The studio's chief creative officer, Johan Pilestedt, attributes the success to the game's unique mechanics and the team's decision to deviate from industry norms. With Shams Jorjani now CEO, Arrowhead plans to focus on creating more innovative games while maintaining its independence and avoiding rapid expansion or acquisition.
