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 that players might soon be battling the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types. The in-game narrative suggested that the Illuminate were on a direct path to Super Earth, and a now-deleted post from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account has intensified speculation. The post mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update slated for May 20, which, while referenced in the context of this week's update, has not been officially confirmed by Sony or Arrowhead for that date.

Adding to the speculation, a May 20 release would align perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order. Redditor xTekshi first spotted the leak, which was shared on social media, further fueling the community's excitement.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead in recent communications ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable") suggests that this development feels almost certain. Fans are buzzing with the possibility that the Czech account inadvertently revealed the next major update for Helldivers 2, which would include the chance to fight on Super Earth. If confirmed, this would mark a significant evolution for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would offer a fresh and exciting gameplay experience.
