Arrowhead has announced — and released — a brand new major update for Helldivers 2 known as Omens of Tyranny.
“The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed,” the description reads. “These are dark times for freedom-loving citizens everywhere. Our galaxy grows cold from the embrace of old enemies returning and darkens with the threat of new horrors emerging.”
In Omens of Tyranny, a new faction called The Illuminate “returns” to challenge the Helldivers.
“They are advanced, highly intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic,” Arrowhead said. “The Illuminate have emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Even though we don’t know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.”
In addition to the new faction, new areas to fight are being added to the game along with a new vehicle known as the Fast Recon Vehicle (FRV). The entire squad can travel in the FRV together, making sure no one is left behind as they spread democracy.
