In an interview with GamesIndustry, Johan Pilestedt shared the bold objectives of the Helldivers 2 workforce:

We really feel there we’ve got a lot extra to provide, and so many extra video games we need to make. The ambition stage and urge for food of the organisation has grown considerably. We now have a style of blood, and we wish extra. We satisfaction ourselves on being an unbiased studio. We now have to see what the longer term holds, however there’s nothing within the plans the place we need to be acquired by anyone. I need to see how excessive we are able to fly. And bringing Shams on board, we’ve got potential to grasp that way forward for turning into the subsequent From Software program or Blizzard.

Lofty targets certainly, however Helldivers 2 actually is a good platform to construct upon. After all, there are numerous ongoing points with the stay sport, though Pilestedt is assured they are going to be ironed out.

That is one thing the organisation has seen earlier than. We had the horrible launch of Magicka, which was actually buggy, and me and Shams recognised that we needed to work together with the neighborhood, speak to them in an trustworthy means, and inform them what’s occurring as a lot as we might. After which take motion instantly to resolve the problems. So we’ve seen and been by it earlier than, albeit at a a lot smaller scale. It’s larger stakes this time.
