Helldivers 2 Leak: Battle Against Illuminate on Super Earth Next Week

Eagle-eyed fans of *Helldivers 2* have caught what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting that players may soon find themselves combating 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 mix. The narrative surrounding this in-game event has consistently hinted that the Illuminate's ultimate goal is to reach Super Earth. Now, a since-deleted post from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account has suggested that not only will the Illuminate reach our home planet, but players will also be tasked with defending it.

The leak, first spotted by Redditor xTekshi, mentioned an upcoming "Heart of Democracy" update slated for May 20. Although "Heart of Democracy" has been referenced in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed this as the title for a May 20 release. The timing of the leak aligns suspiciously well with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the speculation.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used phrases like “High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself” and “Battle on Super Earth is inevitable,” which further fuels the speculation. If the leak proves true, this would mark a substantial evolution for *Helldivers 2*, transitioning from battles on alien planets to defending the home front on Super Earth. Such a shift could offer a fresh and engaging experience for players.
