Helldivers 2 teases deadly alien faction that could be the toughest enemy of Super Earth yet

A Super Earth news report sneakily reveals that the iconic Illuminate is likely the next Helldivers 2 faction players will be taking on.

You can see flying bugs In the HD2 Intro image, I'm going to assume they'll be able to kidnap players and it's up to your squad to kill'em to free ya.

[Jin_Sakai]

That would be pretty awesome! Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

[seanpitt23]

What other factions could there possibly be
Arachnids
Robots
Aliens
Human factions would be cool that's against superearth

Ha! Everyone knows the true enemy of Super Earth is server loads!

It's honestly a great game. I hope they get the servers righted soon so everyone can play it whenever they want too.

[Jin_Sakai]

Literally suffering from their own successes. I don’t think anyone knew this game would blow up the way it did.

[INMATEofARKHAM]

I certainly hope they didn't think Suicide Squad would be competition.

[S2Killinit]

AWESOME.

Industry trades: “92% of game studios are working on GAAS titles”

Gamers: “this is ridiculous! Have fun going out of business, studios! Nobody wants them”

*Palworld and the Finals goes live and instantly blows up with insane player counts straight away*

Gamers: “I want my single player games!”

*alan wake ii and prince of Persia launch to critical acclaim and awards but struggle to sell units*

Gamers: no more games as services!

*helldivers 2 launches and becomes immediately successful, almost catching up to Palworld in its short release time*

Makes you wonder why they keep making those games as a service that gamers complain about right before they dump a majority of their energy and money into the very thing they complain about.

What’s my point? Stop bitching and just have fun.

Missing the point, just about everyone is fine with SOME GaaS titles, but not ALL GaaS titles, and certainly not fond of forcing devs with no track record of making these types of games to suddenly make one. Putting legendary dev studios in a position of essentially gambling on their existence for the sake of chasing destiny and Fortnite is absurd and depressing

[ravens52]

Thanks Isarai. Some people need things simplified for them.

[Eonjay]

I have to agree with you. Clearly the hate for Live Services was really overblown. Good luck getting people to admit that. They were trying to bury Sony before they could get one out.. even though the major one that was already out GT7 was already considered successful and has provided free content since it launched. The responses were not measured. Just extreme.

Finals player count is dropping drastically

[monkey602]

Hopefully it'll pick up with Season 2

[TwoPicklesGood]

Finals is boring

[Ironmike]

Helldrivers hast just that magic about it if u get it r8ght there's nothing wrong with live service games as long as that reflects in cost of said game like helldivers being only 40

[TwoPicklesGood]

Good! We need more enemy types ASAP. Killing the same two factions is already becoming boring. If it wasn’t for multiplayer this game would be dead. I enjoy the game so I hope they add more enemies and biomes fast.
