One Helldivers 2 player might have spotted a leak put out by PlayStation that suggested the cooperative shooter could be receiving a major "Heart of Democracy" update on May 20. Helldivers 2 launched on February 8, 2024, and is available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
Arrowhead Game Studios recently surprised fans by releasing a major Illuminate update for Helldivers 2, which added new enemy units to the fearsome faction. The Illuminates have launched a full-scale attack, which has forced the Helldivers to respond. In addition to new enemy units, players now have the ability to customize many of their primary weapons, which is a first for the shooter. The Superstore has also seen a significant change, as all items will become available for purchase on May 15.
Monster Hunter Wilds Players Create an Impressive Helldivers Tribute
A group of Monster Hunter Wilds players coordinate to create an impressive tribute to Helldivers 2 in Capcom's popular action RPG.
In a recent post on Reddit, xTekshi shared a screenshot of a now-deleted post from PlayStation's account in the Czech Republic. While it wasn't originally in English, xTekshi said that the translation of the post asked players to get ready to defend Super Earth, which is likely the main target of Helldivers 2's Illuminates. It also made mention of a major "Heart of Democracy" update coming on May 20, which was notably missing from the posts of other PlayStation accounts around the world. The timing of the update seems to be perfectly aligned with the end of the current Major Order, which is also set to expire on May 20.
A ‘Heart of Democracy’ Update Could Be Coming to Helldivers 2 on May 20
If true, it could mean that players will be fighting to defend Super Earth sooner rather than later, which could lead to large-scale combat in major cities. It's a thought that has many fans excited, especially after just learning about Helldivers 2's major update that launched on May 13. A large portion of the community responded with enthusiasm, with some people in disbelief that even more content could be on the way so soon. Arrowhead Game Studios is no stranger to rolling out massive updates to surprise its players, so many players believe the leak could be legitimate. However, as always, it's best to take such leaks with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.
Helldivers 2 also recently revealed its Masters of Ceremony Warbond, which is scheduled to release on May 15. The Warbond comes with numerous cosmetics, weapons, a booster, a stratagem, and more. With so much content just around the corner and even more updates on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Helldivers 2.
