WithHelldivers 2, Arrowhead has brought back the faith that gamers were losing in live-service games. The developer has been active ever since the title launched in February, as it constantly listens to player suggestions while alsobringing new contentto keep its soldiers busy.
Up until now,Helldivers 2players have been going up against the Terminid and Automaton forces, with occasional encounters with unexpected enemies, but it seems like that’s about to change because the latest stat indicates that Super Earth will need all the support it can get soon.
The Next Faction Is Being Tested in Helldivers 2
It has been a while since a live-service game has managed to form such a dedicated community of players, asHelldivers 2seems to always be in the conversation among gamers these days.

One such committed Helldiver took a look at the latest stats from the galaxy, and everything seemed fine and quite impressive until it took a surprising turn at the end. With a spectacular success rate of 90%, theHelldivers 2community is going strong in its galactic battles, and it has killed a lot of Terminids and Automatons to get through them, but there’s apparently a new threat to democracy on the horizon.
“We don’t want to be Fortnite”: According to Arrowhead, Helldivers 2 Could Be Getting 1 ‘plausible’ Addition Fans Have Been Begging for Since Launch, but Only if It Can Be Done Respectfully
Right below the numbers thatHelldivers 2players have achieved against the existing enemy factions, it says that the community has killed 28 Illuminates, which took fans by surprise because although this third faction was rumored to be coming to the game soon, it hasn’t been officially introduced yet.
This led to gamers coming up with their own speculations about what Arrowhead could currently be planning as it prepares to unleash the full force of the Illuminate army on Super Earth.
A Helldivers 2 Theory Should Be Taken as a Warning
Naturally, fans have various theories regarding the incoming threat inHelldivers 2, but there is one that stands out as the most believable.

The theory suggests that Arrowhead Game Studios could be testing the new enemy faction in regions that are not yet available to the players, which means that the Illuminates may have already taken over “untested (urban) environments.”
Helldivers 2 Keeps Things Fresh by Avoiding Doing 1 Thing Almost All Other Developers Do
Players have already killed more than 9,384,340,614 Automatons, but what if the Automaton missions are nearing their ultimate end, which could pave a path for the Illuminate armies to “launch a surprise attack directly at Super Earths most crucial planets and Super Earth itself?”
For now, out of the 28 Illuminates killed inHelldivers 2, 12 have been found on Cyberstan, but the most worrying bit is that 16 have already made their way onto Super Earth. The community should brace itself for the faction’s official arrival because it feels like there is going to be absolute chaos.

Ever since Osama was gifted the glorious PS2 more than two decades back, video games have formed a major part of his life, ranging from spending hours playing through every single Dragon Ball game he could find to witnessing the gaming industry evolve into something extraordinary in modern times. Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
