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

Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered what appears to be a leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the game. The in-game narrative suggested that the Illuminate were set on a direct course for Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official Czech Republic Threads account has surfaced, suggesting that not only will the Illuminate reach our home planet, but players will also have to fend them off there.

Redditor xTekshi spotted the now-deleted 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 have officially confirmed its connection to a May 20 release. The timing of this potential update aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead in their updates ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable") further supports the notion that a confrontation on Super Earth is on the horizon. Fans are buzzing with excitement, believing that the Czech account inadvertently leaked details about Helldivers 2's next major update, which would introduce the thrilling prospect of fighting on Super Earth itself. If this leak holds true, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, currently limited to alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would undoubtedly offer a fresh and exciting gameplay experience.
