## Key points

- Arrowhead could parody generative AI in a future game.
- Pilestedt says the tone should be quirky, not bleak.
- The studio’s next unannounced project is not Helldivers 3.

## Summary

Arrowhead chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt says the studio could make a game parodying generative AI, imagining a world ruled by an AI overlord. It would be a new title rather than a Helldivers game, and the satire would be quirky and fun rather than bleak.

Helldivers 2’s Automatons are currently a spoof of Soviet Russia, not generative AI. Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has argued that debate over AI in games should recognise both concerns about job losses and the technology’s potential, while protecting people’s intellectual property and rights. Pilestedt did not state his own view on generative AI, and said Arrowhead’s next unannounced game is not Helldivers 3 because the studio wants to maintain Helldivers 2’s momentum.
