Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have caught what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out a full-scale Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the game. The narrative within the game suggested that the Illuminate were heading directly for Super Earth, and a now-deleted post from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account has fueled speculation that players will indeed have to fend off the Illuminate on their home planet.

The post, spotted by Redditor xTekshi, mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although "Heart of Democracy" has been referenced in connection with this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed a May 20 release for this update. The timing of the supposed leak aligns with the end of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the speculation.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used language that suggests an inevitable confrontation on Super Earth, 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 involve defending Super Earth itself.

If these leaks are accurate, this development would represent a major evolution for Helldivers 2, an explosive third-person action game that currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in battles on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting dimension to the gameplay.
