The Helldivers 2 countdown that was running recently has ended, resulting in the publishing of a super short trailer that has unveiled a revelation: the Cyborg Legion is back.
This means that Helldivers 2 players are about to come face to face with former citizens of Super Earth, once defeated and now rising back up with a threat. If Cyberstan is attacked, their retribution will be swiftly felt across the galaxy. This is a throwback to the original Helldivers game, and fans are here for every second of it.
The Cyborg Legion is Back – Beware!
Cyberstan, for the uninitiated, is a hostile world in the Helldivers universe, populated by ‘former’ humans augmented with cybernetic abilities, used originally to withstand harsh working conditions. They foster a hatred for humans and have dubbed Cyberstan their homeworld, despite originally coming from Super Earth.
Here’s the short teaser trailer that dropped after the Helldivers 2 countdown ended recently:
The video’s description was written entirely in binary, but a simple translation tool uncovers the meaning behind it:
DET HÄR ÄR ER SISTA CHANS. ÅTERGÅ GENAST.
That’s Swedish, in case you don’t recognize the characters. The game’s developer, Arrowhead, is, of course, located in Sweden. Here’s the English translation of the message:
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. RETURN IMMEDIATELY.
Helldivers 2 fans are now pondering the implications of this message. Will residents of Super Earth launch an attack on Cyberstan, or will the Cyborg Legion launch the first initiative and attack en masse with renewed, unseen strength?
