Observant Helldivers 2 players noticed what appears to be a PlayStation leak indicating upcoming battles against the Illuminate on Super Earth's streets.
Following Arrowhead's full Illuminate invasion update this week—which introduced new enemy types—the narrative hinted at an impending attack on Super Earth. Now, a post from PlayStation's Czech Republic Threads account suggests players may soon defend their homeworld against these alien forces.
Reddit user xTekshi captured the since-deleted post referencing a May 20 "Heart of Democracy" update. While the phrase appears in this week's patch notes, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed this release date.
The timing aligns suspiciously well with the current Major Order's conclusion, further fueling speculation.
Official Playstation account for the Czech Republic dropped info on the next title update.

This development seems foretold by Sony's own messaging ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable").
The community believes the Czech account prematurely revealed plans for planetary defense missions—a major expansion for the game currently limited to extraterrestrial battlefields. Urban combat on Super Earth would dramatically shift the gameplay experience.
