Keen-eyed Helldivers 2 enthusiasts have uncovered what appears to be a PlayStation leak hinting at an imminent battle against the Illuminate on Super Earth’s urban streets.

This week, Arrowhead unleashed the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types. In-game narrative strongly suggests the Illuminate are advancing toward Super Earth. A leak from the official Czech Republic Threads account now indicates that the Illuminate will reach our home planet, forcing players to defend it.

Redditor xTekshi discovered the now-deleted post, which mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update slated for May 20. Although the term Heart of Democracy appeared in this week’s update notes, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially tied it to a May 20 launch.

The timing aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.

The update seems almost certain, with Sony and Arrowhead’s language reinforcing this (“High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself” and “Battle on Super Earth is inevitable”).

Fans suspect the Czech account inadvertently revealed Helldivers 2’s next major update, which includes combat on Super Earth. If confirmed, this would mark a major evolution for the thrilling third-person action game, currently limited to alien planet maps. Battling on Super Earth promises a fresh experience.
