Summary
Following developer Arrowhead Studios' announcement that there is “exciting news to come” regarding future content forHelldivers 2, the studio has seemingly teased a future update with a cheeky new in-game ad. A new Warbond will release forHelldivers 2on May 8, offering players a slate of new rewards and sites to unlock. However, Arrowhead is no stranger to fun little teases on its social media channels, with the company seemingly signaling a big new update will also drop in May.
Released in early 2024, a big chunk ofHelldivers 2’s success can be attributed to the game’s consistent stream of content updates, balance changes, and general maintenance, with Arrowhead keeping a direct line of communication with its fans. From polar-themed armor to entirely new weapons and enemy types, eachnewHelldivers 2update has brought something freshto the table. The game is now seemingly preparing for a special event in the wake of players accomplishing their task of halting the Meridian Singularity.
The officialHelldivers 2Twitter account has invited players to spend some “unforgettable” moments at the Free Springs Retreat on Widow’s Harbor and party in the light of Singularity on May 13. This comes after players managed tostop the Singularity inHelldivers 2, which served as the game’s main objective over the last few weeks. However, this could very well be a tease for the game’s next major update, setting up the party to really be a deadly trap. Widow’s Harbor, one ofHelldivers 2’s many planets, rests near the Meridian Singularity, being exposed to the Illuminate if they were to strike.
Helldivers 2 Developer Teases Potential New Update
The post also states that onlyHelldiverswho are Class A will be able to attend, but considering what may happen at the party, this could be a good thing. With this new post, it seems likely that the Illuminate will strike on May 13. This faction was added as part ofHelldivers 2’s Omens of Tyranny updateback in December 2024, adding to the game’s list of ferocious and deadly enemies. If it were just one big social media joke, Arrowhead Studios would likely not have included an actual date, further backing up theories that May 13 will be a day to watch for theHelldivers 2community.
While this new update is unconfirmed,Helldivers 2will be getting a new Warbond in May. “We know it’s been a while since our last update, fear not—we are cooking!” said Arrowhead in arecent social media post, admitting it knows players have been wondering what’s next for the game. This new Warbond will be announced officially on May 8, with more news to come later.Helldivers 2Warbonds typically include new weapons, armor pieces, Stratagems, and other unlockable items, each adding to the game’s ever-growing sandbox. This new Warbond falls right in line with the potential big update set to drop just days later on May 13, indicating this summer will be a big one forHelldivers 2as a whole.
