Helldivers 2 Leak: Players to Battle 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 upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead introduced the full Illuminate invasion, complete with new enemy types. 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 seems to confirm that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, requiring players to fend them off there.

Redditor xTekshi was the first to spot this intriguing leak, 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 this in relation 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 language that suggests this development is inevitable, with statements like “High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself” and “Battle on Super Earth is inevitable.” As a result, fans are convinced that the Czech account inadvertently leaked details about *Helldivers 2’s* next major update, which would see players engaging in combat on Super Earth. If these leaks are accurate, this would represent a significant evolution for the game, currently featuring only alien planet maps. The introduction of Super Earth as a battleground would undoubtedly provide a fresh and exciting twist to the explosive third-person action game.
