A credible Helldivers 2 insider has validated information about an impending Super Earth event that was initially shared as an April Fool's prank across social platforms. While April 1st saw numerous gaming-related jokes, including Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios releasing a patch that intentionally altered weapon sizes for humorous effect, this particular leak appears to hold genuine weight.

Since its February 2024 launch, Helldivers 2 has dominated the FPS landscape as a worthy successor to its 2015 predecessor. Players assume the role of elite soldiers combating Terminid and Automaton forces to safeguard humanity in the 22nd century, with the live-service title receiving regular content updates. Recent speculation intensified when Helldivers 2 deployed a new Major Order sending players back to defend Malevelon Creek against Automaton forces.

The revelation came from prominent leaker Iron_S1ghts on Twitter, who drew attention to their earlier April Fool's post about an Illuminate attack on Super Earth. Helldivers 2's Illuminate faction features formidable enemy units, including the formidable S-tier Overseers that lead their forces. The insider stated, "I can confidently confirm that an Illuminate assault on Super Earth is currently in testing," expressing surprise that their initial joke might become reality.

While the Helldivers 2 community has expressed mixed feelings about Arrowhead's decision not to release a content roadmap, players continue to praise the developer's engaging gameplay approach. Some fans speculate that if the leak proves accurate, the invasion might still be months away from implementation. Given the potential scale of such an event, some players have humorously suggested relocating humanity to Malevelon Creek as a contingency plan.

Helldivers 2's lore surrounding Super Earth is remarkably detailed. This planetary capital of the Federation of Super Earth represents one of two inhabited worlds in the Sol System. The game's alternate history explains that a collision between Earth and planet Thea created the Super Moon, leaving a distinctive ring around the celestial body.
