Helldivers 2 Leak: Fighting Illuminate on Super Earth Next Week

Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming confrontation with the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead introduced the full-scale Illuminate invasion, complete with new enemy types. The narrative within the game suggested that the Illuminate's ultimate target was Super Earth itself, and a now-deleted post from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account seems to confirm that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, where players will have to fend them off.

Redditor xTekshi was the first to spot the post, which mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although "Heart of Democracy" has been referenced in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed its connection to a release on May 20. The timing of this potential update aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

The official PlayStation account for the Czech Republic inadvertently shared details about the next title update, stating:

Both Sony and Arrowhead have hinted at the inevitability of this scenario, with statements like "High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable."

The gaming community believes that the Czech account's post may have accidentally revealed Helldivers 2's next major update, which would introduce gameplay on Super Earth. This would mark a significant evolution for the explosive third-person action game, which currently features maps set on alien planets. Engaging in battles on Super Earth would undoubtedly provide a fresh and unique experience for players.
