Alert Helldivers 2 players have uncovered what appears to be a PlayStation leak indicating upcoming battles against the Illuminate on Super Earth's home turf.
This week's full Illuminate invasion rollout from developer Arrowhead introduced new enemy variants. The game's lore hinted at the Illuminate's direct assault on Super Earth, and now a leaked post from PlayStation's Czech Republic Threads account suggests our home planet will indeed become a battleground.
Reddit user xTekshi captured the since-deleted post referencing a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. While the update's name aligns with current in-game events, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed this release date.
The speculated May 20 timing would coincide perfectly with the conclusion of the ongoing Major Order, lending credibility to the leak.
Official PlayStation account for the Czech Republic revealed details about the next title update.
"Heart of Democracy" - May 20th #Helldivers2
This development aligns perfectly with Sony and Arrowhead's recent messaging ("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 suspects the Czech account unintentionally revealed Helldivers 2's next major content drop, potentially bringing combat to Super Earth for the first time. Such an expansion would substantially evolve the explosive third-person shooter, which currently limits players to alien planetary environments.
Warning! Spoilers for Helldivers 2 follow.
