Summary
- Helldivers 2 brings players back to challenging Malevelon Creek in the latest Major Order.
- The live service content approach creates memorable missions and iconic locations.
- Players must defend Malevelon Creek against the Automatons once more.
Helldivers 2 has released its latest Major Order to finish March 2025, bringing players back to Malevelon Creek. Gamers who played Helldivers 2 closer to its release may remember Malevelon Creek as one of the most challenging battlegrounds in the early-game, and players must go back one more time.
The excitement surrounding a return to Malevelon Creek is only possible due to Helldivers 2's approach to live service content. Through the Galactic War narrative, Arrowhead Game Studios can create memorable missions in iconic locations, crafting experiences that players will remember for a long time afterward. This makes it a much bigger deal when the developer chooses to return to these locations in future content.
After Helldivers 2's Borderline Justice Warbond, One Crossover Shouldn't Be Off the Table
With the recent introduction of the Borderline Justice Warbond to Helldivers 2, Arrowhead should consider one obvious crossover.
The return to Malevelon Creek was teased in last week's Helldivers 2 Major Order and has now been confirmed in a post on X. Players will face off against the Automatons, with the attack led by the recently added Incineration Corps. The objective is simple - over the next six days, players must "Defend Malevelon Creek, by any means necessary." If successful, the reward for participating players will be 60 Warbond Medals.
Helldivers 2 Major Order Brings Players Back to Malevelon Creek
Last time around, players were able to get the free Malevelon Creek cape reward in Helldivers 2 for helping to defend the planet. It remains to be seen if this will make a return in the latest Major Order, although for now, it doesn't appear to be the case. With April 3 marked as the official Malevelon Creek Memorial Day after last year's events, there could be more surprises around the corner for this Major Order when the anniversary comes along, although it should be noted that this is purely speculation.
Beyond the latest Major Order, the future is still looking bright for Helldivers 2. Content is still as frequent as ever, with players hopping on constantly to experience the latest updates. Recently, Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani addressed Helldivers 2's lack of roadmap, confirming that the studio likes its current approach. Given the game's ongoing success, it makes sense that there's no need to change course in this regard.
