Eagle-eyed fans of *Helldivers 2* have spotted what appears to be a 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 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 Threads account indicates that the Illuminate will indeed reach our home planet, where players will have to fight them off.
Redditor xTekshi noticed a now-deleted post that mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. While "Heart of Democracy" is referenced in the official communications surrounding this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed this in connection to a May 20 release. The speculation is further stoked by the fact that a May 20 release would align perfectly with the end of the current Major Order.
Official Playstation account for the Czech Republic dropped info on the next title update.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead in their updates ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable") suggests that this development feels all but certain. Fans believe that the Czech account inadvertently leaked details about *Helldivers 2*'s next major update, which would involve fighting on Super Earth. If this turns out to be true, it would mark a significant evolution for the game, currently featuring only alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would undoubtedly provide a fresh and exciting gameplay experience.
