Eagle-eyed fans of *Helldivers 2* have uncovered what appears to be a leak from PlayStation, hinting that players may soon find themselves locked in combat against the Illuminate on the very soil of Super Earth. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the community, as it suggests a major narrative and gameplay shift in the popular third-person shooter.
This week marked the full launch of the Illuminate invasion by developer Arrowhead Game Studios, introducing new enemy types and deepening the game’s evolving storyline. In-universe messaging strongly implied that the Illuminate were setting their sights on Super Earth. Now, a reportedly leaked post from the official Czech Republic PlayStation Threads account appears to confirm that the battle will indeed reach our home planet—bringing the war straight to humanity’s doorstep.
Reddit user xTekshi was among the first to notice the now-deleted post, which teased a content update titled “Heart of Democracy” slated for May 20. While references to “Heart of Democracy” have surfaced in official communications tied to this week’s update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed the May 20 release date. However, such a timeline would align neatly 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 inevitability of this conflict is further reinforced by the tone of official statements released alongside the latest update. 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” leave little doubt that the developers are steering the story toward this dramatic escalation.
If authentic, the leak implies that the Czech PlayStation account accidentally revealed details about *Helldivers 2*'s next major update—including the unprecedented introduction of combat missions set on Super Earth. Up until now, all gameplay has taken place across various alien worlds. A shift to urban and terrestrial environments on humanity’s homeworld could bring fresh tactical depth and visual variety to the experience.
