Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have caught wind of what seems to be a PlayStation leak suggesting a major twist—players will soon find themselves battling the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead released the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types along the way. The in-universe narrative hinted that the Illuminate were en route to Super Earth, and now a potential leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Twitter account implies they won’t stop there. According to the leak, players will not only face the Illuminate on their home turf but will also have to defend their own planet.

Redditor xTekshi noticed the now-deleted tweet, which mentioned a “Heart of Democracy” update scheduled for May 20. While Arrowhead and Sony haven’t officially confirmed this connection, the timing aligns with the conclusion of the current Major Order. Additionally, the official Czech PlayStation account’s mention of the “Heart of Democracy” update has fueled speculation further.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable") strongly supports the idea that this update will bring the conflict to our home planet. Fans believe the Czech account inadvertently leaked details of Helldivers 2’s upcoming major update, which could involve fighting the Illuminate on Super Earth. Should this happen, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, as its current focus is primarily on alien planet maps. Playing on Super Earth would undoubtedly add a fresh layer of excitement and challenge to the explosive third-person shooter experience.
