Overview
- A well-known Helldivers 2 leaker has validated the testing of the Illuminate’s invasion of Super Earth.
- This information was previously teased as an April Fool’s Day joke, yet the leaker asserts its authenticity.
Recent reports from a trusted source within the Helldivers 2 community have reignited interest in an event concerning Super Earth. Initially presented as a clever April Fool’s Day prank, the leaker emphasized that there is indeed substance to the rumor concerning an imminent invasion by the Illuminate, a formidable enemy faction in the game.
Since its release in February 2024, Helldivers 2 has quickly established a strong presence in the first-person shooter (FPS) genre, acting as the sequel to the original 2015 title. Players take on the roles of elite shock troops tasked with combating the menacing Terminids and Automaton invaders, all while striving to safeguard humanity in a futuristic 22nd-century setting. The game benefits from regular updates that introduce new missions and challenges, keeping the gameplay dynamic and engaging for its audience. Recently, a new Major Order sent players back to Malevelon Creek, where they valiantly defended against numerous Automaton forces.
On Twitter, the leaker known as Iron_S1ghts drew attention to their earlier April Fool’s Day jest about an impending invasion by the Illuminate. With formidable enemy classes like the S-tier Overseer and Elevated Overseer, anticipation has been building among players for a significant series of attacks. The leaker expressed their astonishment, stating that their once-casual joke was transitioning into possible reality. “I can confidently say that an Illuminate attack on Super Earth is being tested,” they noted, signaling a significant shift in community interest regarding upcoming content.
Leaker Implies Testing of Illuminate Invasion in Helldivers 2
It has been a while since something involving Super Earth has been worked on. But I can now confidently say that an Illuminate attack on it is being tested. — Iron_S1ghts (@Iron_S1ghts) April 8, 2025
While the Helldivers 2 community has expressed varying opinions about Arrowhead Game Studios’ current absence of a detailed content roadmap, player engagement remains high, particularly if these invasion claims hold weight. However, many fans caution that, given the ongoing testing phase, a major event could still be several months away from launch. Some players have humorously suggested relocating humanity to Malevelon Creek in preparation for this impending crisis.
The lore behind Helldivers 2 is expansive, with Super Earth—a name reflecting Earth’s advanced evolution—serving as humanity’s primary stronghold. Renowned as the capital of the Federation of Super Earth, it encompasses seven sectors, including Europe, Oceania, and Latin America. The game cleverly retcons Earth’s history, suggesting that a celestial collision with planet Thea led to the creation of the Super Moon, encircling the planet.
