Helldivers 2 Leak: Players to Battle 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 battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, Arrowhead introduced the full Illuminate invasion, complete with new enemy types, and the narrative within the game pointed towards an imminent attack on Super Earth. A now-deleted post from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account has fueled speculation that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation.

The leak, first spotted by Redditor xTekshi, mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" is referenced in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed a release for May 20. However, the timing aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

The post from the PlayStation Czech Republic account was shared by IronS1ghts on Twitter, stating:

Both Sony and Arrowhead have hinted at the inevitability of a Super Earth invasion 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." This suggests that the leaked information could indeed be accurate, setting the stage for a thrilling new chapter in Helldivers 2.

If these leaks hold true, players can anticipate a major update that would bring the battle to Super Earth, offering a fresh and exciting twist to the game's current alien planet settings. This would mark a significant enhancement to the explosive third-person action game, promising new challenges and gameplay experiences.
