A Helldivers 2 leaker confirms the Illuminate’s potential invasion of Super Earth is being tested.
A reliable Helldivers 2 leaker has backed intel relating to an imminent Super Earth event that was previously shared as an April Fool’s Day prank on social media. The gaming community was rife with gags for April 1st, and the Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios even released a patch on the day to fix a handful of crash issues, but the size of the Sickle and Liberator weapons were changed just to mess with players.
Helldivers 2 launched back in February 2024 and instantly found success in the FPS genre, serving as a direct sequel to its 2015 predecessor. Players man the titular shock troops battling against the Terminids and Automaton invasions to protect humanity in the 22nd century, and the live-service title is frequently updated with new orders. Following a flurry of exciting rumors, Helldivers 2 recently deployed a new Major Order returning players to Malevelon Creek, where the troops defended the iconic location against the Automaton uprising.
Posted by Iron_S1ghts on Twitter, the prominent leaker drew the community’s attention to their previous April Fool’s Day gag teasing the Illuminate’s invasion of Super Earth. Helldivers 2’s Illuminate boasts several intimidating enemy types, including the S-tier Overseer and Elevated Overseer that lead the units’ charge, and players have been waiting for a full invasion to break out. The leaker alerted the community that the invasion mentioned in the prank was now being tested, saying, “I can confidently say that an Illuminate attack on it is being tested.” Highlighting that it’d been a minute since a Super Earth event was being developed, the leaker shared in disbelief that their previous joke was potentially coming to fruition.
Helldivers 2 Leaker Suggests Illuminate Invasion of Super Earth Is Being Tested
The Helldivers 2 community had mixed feelings regarding Arrowhead’s lack of a content roadmap, but the player base continues to praise the devs’ engaging gameplay if the Super Earth leak is true. Several fans noted that the invasion could still be several months away from completion if it’s still being tested, and considering the scale of the potential event, other Helldivers proposed moving humanity to Malevelon Creek.
Helldivers 2’s lore of Super Earth is rich, and the inhabited planet is one of two existing in the Sol System. Super Earth is known as humanity’s home, formerly known as “Earth,” while serving as the capital of the Federation of Super Earth with seven sectors, including the advanced states of Europe, Oceania, and Latin America. The FPS explains that planet Thea collided with Earth to form the Super Moon, leaving a ring around the mass.
