The anticipation surrounding Helldivers 2 has reached a fever pitch, largely due to a lighthearted comment made by Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani. During a recent interaction on the game’s Discord server, Jorjani playfully promised players they would “shit your pants,” a remark that quickly took off as a joke within the community.
This comment came in response to a fan inquiry about upcoming content, and it sparked a flurry of memes on the Helldivers 2 subreddit. Players have flooded the forum with humorous posts questioning when this ‘pants-shitting’ excitement would commence. One enthusiastic fan even inquired, “When does the pants shitting start?” as anticipation builds ahead of the Warbond announcement set for May 15.
Jorjani acknowledged the overreaction on Reddit, noting that the meme spiraled out of control from what he considered a simple joke. In a follow-up Discord message, he humorously commented on the situation, emphasizing the pressure now on his team to deliver something truly thrilling for players.
Arrowhead has hinted that following the Warbond announcement, there will be additional exciting news, creating even greater anticipation among fans.
As the release dates approach, the mix of humor and excitement from the community is a testament to Helldivers 2’s potential to bring fresh and exhilarating experiences to players. With the promise of new content, there’s a sense of optimism that the development team will meet the playful expectation set by Jorjani’s comment. Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next and are preparing for the surprises that may indeed make them “shit their pants” in the best way possible.
