Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered 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 Game Studios rolled out the full-scale Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the game. The narrative within the game strongly suggested that the Illuminate were set on a direct course for Super Earth. Now, a leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account has intensified speculation that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, necessitating a fierce defense.
Redditor xTekshi brought attention to a now-deleted post from the account, which mentioned a forthcoming "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" is mentioned in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially linked it to a release on May 20. The timing of this potential update aligns intriguingly with the conclusion of the current Major Order in the game.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead for this update ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable") suggests that this development feels almost certain. Fans are buzzing with the theory that the Czech account inadvertently revealed details about Helldivers 2's next major update, which could involve defending Super Earth from the Illuminate. If these leaks hold true, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, expanding its settings from alien planets to our very own home planet, offering players a fresh and thrilling gameplay experience.
