Helldivers 2 Leak: Fighting the Illuminate on Super Earth Next Week

Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have recently uncovered what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead introduced the full-scale Illuminate invasion, complete with new enemy types. The in-game narrative strongly suggested that the Illuminate's ultimate goal was Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account indicates that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, forcing players to defend it.

The leak was initially spotted by Redditor xTekshi, who noticed a now-deleted post mentioning a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" has been used in relation to this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed a release date for this update. However, the timing aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used language that hints at this inevitable confrontation, with phrases like "High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable." This has led fans to believe that the Czech account may have accidentally revealed Helldivers 2's next major update, which could introduce gameplay on Super Earth, a significant change from the game's current alien planet settings.

If these leaks are accurate, this update would mark a thrilling evolution for Helldivers 2, offering players a new and exciting battlefield to explore and defend.
