Helldivers 2 Leak: Illuminate Battle on Super Earth Next Week, Mega City Gameplay Revealed

Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have recently uncovered what appears to be a 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, and the narrative suggested that the Illuminate were en route to Super Earth. A now-deleted post from the official Czech Republic Threads account has further fueled speculation, suggesting that not only will the Illuminate reach our home planet, but players will also have to engage them in battle there.

The leaked post mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update slated 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 this date. The timing of the May 20 release aligns suspiciously well with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

The narrative surrounding this update has been clear: "High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable." These statements from Sony and Arrowhead make the leaked information seem all the more plausible.

Fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility that the Czech account accidentally revealed Helldivers 2's next major update, which would introduce gameplay on Super Earth. This would mark a significant evolution for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in battles on Super Earth would undoubtedly offer a fresh and thrilling experience for players.
