Attention all Helldivers 2 fans, exciting news is on the horizon! It seems that the elusive Illuminates may be making their way into the game – or so some dedicated fans have discovered. However, developer Arrowhead Studios is remaining tight-lipped about the matter, for now at least.
Despite some recent challenges for Helldivers 2, the team at Arrowhead Studios continues to engage with fans in a playful manner, often taking on the role of the strict and powerful Super Earth government on social media. It's all in good fun, of course.
Earlier this year, fans were convinced that there were flying bugs in the game, but the developers adamantly denied these claims as "filthy lies". As it turns out, the flying bugs were eventually added to the game, and history seems to be repeating itself once again. This time, fans are claiming to have spotted a new enemy faction, the Illuminates, but the developers are once again dismissing these sightings as "fake news".
Fans have been sharing pictures on Twitter and Reddit of a mysterious purple sector on the map, which has never been seen before. The sector also features a symbol that is unmistakably the Illuminate logo from the first Helldivers game. Could this be solid evidence of their return?
However, before fans could get too excited, the purple areas were quickly removed from the map. This was followed by a message from the Super Earth Armed Forces High Command, claiming that there was a recent service outage due to a technician who died in a "server farm" and caused damage with their "organic tissue". The statement also mentioned that the deceased's family has been notified and fined for the damages.
But fans are not easily convinced by this explanation and believe that the Illuminate's return is inevitable, just like the flying bugs. For those unfamiliar, the Illuminates are a powerful alien species with advanced technology, including teleportation, energy weapons, and shields. They were a formidable enemy in the first Helldivers game.
While the validity of these claims is still up for debate, this news comes at a time when fans have been expressing disappointment with recent updates that have made the game more challenging and less enjoyable. In response, the developers have promised to reassess their approach to balance and have even laid out a 60-day roadmap to address these concerns.
Whether the Illuminates are truly making a comeback or not, one thing is for sure – the Helldivers community is buzzing with excitement and speculation.
