They're different kinds of surprise successes: Helldivers 2 surprised by being so successful, but its existence wasn't really a huge surprise, I reckon. Palworld's reveal came out of nowhere, but the moment it did, its sales potential was obvious. It wasn't clear if it was going to be very successful, and because I didn't (and still don't) like the concept, I was hoping it would fail, but its success was by no means a surprise. Because of this, I gave my vote to Helldivers 2.
