Helldivers 2 Leak: Illuminate War Hits Super Earth Soon

Sharp-eyed Helldivers 2 players have uncovered what appears to be a PlayStation leak indicating battles against the Illuminate may soon erupt on Super Earth's streets.

This week, developer Arrowhead launched the full Illuminate invasion, introducing fresh enemy variants. The in-game narrative hinted the Illuminate were advancing directly toward Super Earth. Now, a since-deleted post from PlayStation's official Czech Republic Threads account suggests these invaders may reach our homeworld—forcing players to defend it.

Redditor xTekshi captured the post referencing a "Heart of Democracy" update slated for May 20. While this title appears in current patch notes, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have confirmed this specific release date.

Notably, May 20 aligns with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

This development aligns with Sony and Arrowhead's recent ominous messaging, including 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."

The community speculates the Czech account unintentionally revealed Helldivers 2's next major update—potentially bringing combat to Super Earth for the first time. Such an expansion would mark a significant evolution for the explosive third-person shooter, currently limited to alien planetary battlegrounds. Urban warfare on humanity's home planet would deliver radically new gameplay experiences.
