Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered what appears to be a leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types. The in-game narrative suggested that the Illuminate were set on a direct course for Super Earth, and now, a leak from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account indicates that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, where players will be tasked with repelling them.
Redditor xTekshi noticed the now-deleted post, which mentioned 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 have officially confirmed its association with a May 20 release date.
The speculation is further supported by the fact that a May 20 release aligns with the conclusion of the current Major Order.
Official Playstation account for the Czech Republic dropped info on the next title update.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have hinted at this development with phrases such as "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 suggests that the confrontation on Super Earth is not just a possibility but a foregone conclusion.
Consequently, fans are buzzing with the theory that the Czech account inadvertently leaked the details of Helldivers 2's next major update, which includes plans to fight on Super Earth. If this leak proves accurate, it would represent a significant evolution for the game, which to date has been confined to alien planet maps. Engaging in battles on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting dynamic to the explosive third-person action game.
