Eagle-eyed fans of Helldivers 2 have recently uncovered what appears to be a significant leak from PlayStation, hinting at an upcoming confrontation against the Illuminate on the streets of Super Earth. This week, developer Arrowhead escalated the game's narrative by launching a full-scale Illuminate invasion, introducing new enemy types to the fray. The in-game lore has been hinting that the Illuminate's ultimate goal is to reach Super Earth, and a now-deleted post from the official PlayStation Czech Republic Threads account seems to confirm this.
The leaked post, first spotted by Redditor xTekshi, mentioned a "Heart of Democracy" update set for May 20. Although "Heart of Democracy" has been referenced in the context of this week's update, neither Sony nor Arrowhead has officially confirmed its relation to a May 20 release. The timing of this potential update aligns perfectly 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.

Both Sony and Arrowhead have used language that suggests the inevitability of this development, with statements like "High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable." This has led fans to believe that the Czech account's post was an accidental leak of Helldivers 2's next major update, which would introduce battles on Super Earth.
If these leaks are accurate, it would mark a significant evolution for Helldivers 2, an explosive third-person action game that has so far been confined to alien planet maps. The prospect of fighting on Super Earth promises to deliver a fresh and exciting gameplay experience.
