Helldivers 2 Leak: Battle Against Illuminate on Super Earth Next Week, Mega City Gameplay Revealed

Author : Ethan May 19,2025

Eagle-eyed fans of *Helldivers 2* have uncovered what appears to be a leak from PlayStation, suggesting that players will soon be fighting the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the game. The in-game narrative hinted that the Illuminate were en route to Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account indicates that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, and players will have to defend it there.

The leak, originally spotted by Redditor xTekshi, referenced a now-deleted post about a "Heart of Democracy" update set for May 20. While "Heart of Democracy" is mentioned in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed its release for May 20. The timing of this potential update aligns with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used language suggesting that a battle on Super Earth 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.” This has led fans to believe that the Czech account inadvertently leaked details about *Helldivers 2*'s next major update, which could bring the fight to Super Earth itself. If this leak proves true, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting dynamic to the explosive third-person action game.
