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 and setting the stage for an epic confrontation. The in-game narrative suggested that the Illuminate were en route to Super Earth, and a now-deleted post from the official Czech Republic Threads account has fueled speculation that players will indeed face off against the Illuminate on our home planet.

The leak, spotted by Redditor xTekshi, mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update slated for May 20. While "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.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used 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," which lends further credence to the possibility of this significant update. If the leak turns out to be true, it would mark a major evolution for Helldivers 2, an explosive third-person action game that currently features battles on alien planets. Fighting on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting dynamic to the gameplay.
