In a recent post on Reddit,xTekshishared a screenshot of a now-deleted post from PlayStation’s account in the Czech Republic. While it wasn’t originally in English, xTekshi said that the translation of the post asked players to get ready to defend Super Earth, which is likely the main target ofHelldivers 2’s Illuminates. It also made mention of a major “Heart of Democracy” update coming on May 20, which was notably missing from the posts of other PlayStation accounts around the world. The timing of the update seems to be perfectly aligned with the end of the current Major Order, which is also set to expire on May 20.

If true, it could mean that players will be fighting to defend Super Earth sooner rather than later, which could lead to large-scale combat in major cities. It’s a thought that has many fans excited, especially after just learning aboutHelldivers 2’s major updatethat launched on May 13. A large portion of the community responded with enthusiasm, with some people in disbelief that even more content could be on the way so soon. Arrowhead Game Studios is no stranger to rolling out massive updates to surprise its players, so many players believe the leak could be legitimate. However, as always, it’s best to take such leaks with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.
Helldivers 2also recently revealed its Masters of Ceremony Warbond, which is scheduled to release on May 15. The Warbond comes with numerous cosmetics, weapons, a booster, a stratagem, and more. With so much content just around the corner and even more updates on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofHelldivers 2.
