Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have recently uncovered a potential leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming confrontation with the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the game. The narrative within the game has been pointing towards the Illuminate advancing directly towards Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account suggests that not only will the Illuminate reach our home planet, but players will also have to engage them in battle there.
The leak was first spotted by Redditor xTekshi, who noticed a now-deleted post mentioning a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" has been used in the context of this week’s update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed its connection to a May 20 release. The timing of this potential update aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.
Official Playstation account for the Czech Republic dropped info on the next title update.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used strong language around this update, stating, “High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself” and “Battle on Super Earth is inevitable.” This rhetoric supports the idea that a confrontation on Super Earth is indeed on the horizon.
Fans are buzzing with the theory that the Czech account may have inadvertently leaked details about Helldivers 2's next major update, which could introduce gameplay on Super Earth. If this turns out to be true, it would mark a significant expansion for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in battles on Super Earth would offer players a fresh and exciting gameplay experience.
