We recently celebrated re-opening our offices! 🍻 After so long apart, it felt amazing to hang out with old friends and finally meet our newer coworkers *in person!* 🥰
Attention soldiers: Today marks the 5 year anniversary since the release of Helldivers.
To celebrate we would like to share this original concept art from the very first stages of development...
We might make co-op games, but we get pretty competitive about food. Recently, we hosted the NUCLEAR NUGGET KNOCKOUT eating competition! 💥 Four developers battled to crown a new chicken champ!
Watch the full video on YouTube!
Recently, we hosted the Nuclear Nugget Knockout eating competition in our office and crowned Medo Osman the winner. Of course, our champion has to dress accordingly. Check out Medo's victory drip!
4 years, an old office & 10 devs ago we released Gauntlet. Now we are a team of ~50, working in new offices on our biggest project.
No matter how much your surroundings change, some things stay the same - having fun together making games you love ❤️

12 years ago today, Arrowhead was born!🎈 🎉 We wish we could be celebrating in person, but instead we will reminisce on the days when we could all be together during our 10 year party. Skål (cheers) to everyone who has stuck by our side for a whole 12 years. We thank you! 🥂
It's my first anniversary
@ArrowheadGS
Today. Time flies fast when you're having a great time. Looking forward to many more years of Game Design here.😊
On Monday we're launching something new, fun & useful for you guys! Early birds will be rewarded, so keep your eyes on our blog or sign up to the newsletter to be notified :)
Say hello to Alex, one of our producers!
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Turn into dust and travel at the speed of light. Pretty much like in Infamous Second Son!
What's your biggest gaming pet peeve?
Clunky 3C in games - that breaks the flow so much!
Our next game is going to be grand, so now we're hiring big time! We need a whole bunch of game devs from all kinds of disciplines to join our family. Read more about it here:

Happy holidays and happy new year from the entire Arrowhead team! 🎊 We all accomplished a lot this year... but now it's time to look forward to the future. Welcome to the first day of 2022! 🤩
In some places, they eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Others eat pączki. But here in Sweden, we eat semlor. 😋
No matter which treat you eat today, have an extra one on us. Happy Fettisdagen from Arrowhead!
Magicka turns 10 years! 🎈🎉😮
Don't miss out on the celebratory silliness at 20:00 CET tomorrow, when the creators try to play for the first time in years – while telling tall tales about it all back then!
