Earlier today, a PlayStation social media account accidentally posted an image of an upcoming, soon-to-drop title update for Helldivers 2 named ‘Heart of Democracy’. It was accompanied by a May 20th release date, but the post was taken down shortly after being published.
The visuals and message associated with the post suggest that the most recent Helldivers 2 update is little more than a staging ground for something monumental that could lead to an immense, ultimate battle taking place on Super Earth.
Not Again
PlayStation has been on a leaking spree recently. Days ago, a social media team accidentally published a trailer for Stellar Blade on PC, revealing the release date and all the upgrades coming next month.
This time, the Czech PlayStation social media team has leaked a major and daunting update for Helldivers 2, dubbed ‘Heart of Democracy’.
It’s set to be released on May 20, but details are scarce – because, you know, the announcement hasn’t happened yet.
The image of the now-removed leak was posted on social media by user Iron_S1ghts.
This leak has led players to believe that the recent Helldivers 2 update, focused on the Illuminate, was just a toe-dip in anticipation of a major attack on Super Earth.
On Reddit, one user explained a possible outcome:
The in-game messages make it known as such. All of the current objectives are literally just trying to weaken or slow the invasion fleets advance.
All roads lead to a final showdown on Super Earth.
Some have even questioned whether this is the end of the line for Helldivers 2, with the live-service model collapsing under the weight of imposing alien forces little more than a year after the game was released.
If players can stem the tide of whatever is coming, perhaps we’ll see more yet.
What do you think the Heart of Democracy update entails? Let me know on the Insider Gaming forum.
