Helldivers 2 Leak: Battle Against 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 confrontation with the Illuminate faction on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead escalated the game's narrative by launching a full-scale Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types and suggesting that the Illuminate's ultimate target is Super Earth itself.

The leak, which surfaced on the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account, was spotted by Redditor xTekshi. The now-deleted post mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" has been used in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed its association with a May 20 release.

Adding credibility to the leak, the proposed May 20 release date aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order in the game. The official PlayStation account for the Czech Republic inadvertently shared details about the next title update, sparking excitement and speculation among the Helldivers 2 community.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used strong language to describe the impending threat, 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 rhetoric has led fans to believe that the leaked information about the next major update is accurate, and that players will soon find themselves battling the Illuminate on their home planet.

If these leaks prove true, it would represent a significant evolution for Helldivers 2, a game currently featuring only alien planet maps. Fighting on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting gameplay experience for fans of this explosive third-person action game.
