"Helldivers 2 Leak: Battle Against Illuminate on Super Earth Next Week"

Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered what appears to be a leak from PlayStation, hinting at an imminent confrontation with the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead introduced the full Illuminate invasion, bringing new enemy types into the mix. The narrative within the game suggested that the Illuminate were set on a collision course with Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account indicates that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, where players will have to fend them off.

The speculation is further fueled by the fact that a May 20 release aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order.

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") suggests that this development feels almost certain.

Consequently, fans believe that the Czech account inadvertently leaked details about Helldivers 2's next major update, which would involve battling on Super Earth. If these leaks hold true, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, currently limited to alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would undoubtedly introduce a fresh and exciting dynamic to the explosive third-person action game.
