Eagle-eyed fans of *Helldivers 2* have uncovered a potential leak from PlayStation, hinting that players might soon find themselves battling the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead rolled out the full Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types. The in-game narrative strongly suggested that the Illuminate's ultimate goal was to reach Super Earth, and now a leak from the official Czech Republic Threads account has reinforced this possibility. The leak suggests that not only will the Illuminate reach Super Earth, but players will also have to fend them off there.
Redditor xTekshi discovered the now-deleted post, which mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. While the term "Heart of Democracy" has been used in the context of this week’s update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed its connection to a release on May 20. The timing of this potential update aligns perfectly with the conclusion of the current Major Order, adding credibility to the leak.
Official Playstation account for the Czech Republic dropped info on the next title update.

The language used by Sony and Arrowhead in recent communications has hinted at this development, with phrases like “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 may have inadvertently revealed *Helldivers 2*'s next major update, including plans to engage in combat on Super Earth. If these leaks hold true, it would represent a significant evolution for the game, which currently features only alien planet maps. Fighting on Super Earth would introduce a fresh and exciting dynamic to the explosive third-person action game.
