Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have uncovered what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming battle against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead introduced the full Illuminate invasion, complete with new enemy types. The in-game narrative suggested that the Illuminate were headed directly for Super Earth, and a now-deleted post from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account has seemingly confirmed this trajectory. The post mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20, which aligns with the end of the current Major Order.
Redditor xTekshi first spotted the deleted post, which has since sparked widespread discussion. Although the term "Heart of Democracy" has been mentioned in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed its connection to a May 20 release. However, the timing of the leak and the narrative buildup within the game suggest that a confrontation on Super Earth is indeed on the horizon.
The official PlayStation account for the Czech Republic inadvertently shared details about the next title update, stating:

Both Sony and Arrowhead have hinted at the inevitability of this development, with in-game messages 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 has led fans to believe that the Czech account's post was an accidental leak of Helldivers 2's next major update, which would introduce gameplay on Super Earth. Such a change would represent a significant evolution for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Engaging in combat on Super Earth would undoubtedly provide a fresh and thrilling experience for players.
