Helldivers 2 could be getting a rogue-lite mode, Arrowhead reveals

Arrowhead Game Studios is reportedly working on a rogue-lite mode for Helldivers 2, as casually revealed by company founder Johan Pilestedt on social media.

The Details:

• In response to a fan’s suggestion of an endless mode, Pilestedt confirmed that a prototype of a rogue-lite mode actually already exists. According to the executive, the rogue-lite mode is currently in the prototype phase and is said to introduce mechanics that would reshape how players approach missions compared to the standard mission-based structure currently available in the game.

• It’s rumored that the mode will feature progression systems, modifiers, and power-ups similar to other games in the genre, while maintaining some of the core elements of Helldivers 2 such as stratagem management.
• The studio has not announced an official release date for the new mode, but based on past updates for the game, fans may be waiting a little while longer.
