Helldivers 2 players have been buzzing with excitement as reports of a new enemy faction have been circulating. The Galactic War map has been showing sightings of a mysterious purple blob, hinting at the possible arrival of the Illuminate. The development studio Arrowhead, also known as the glorious government of Super Earth, has been downplaying these rumors, attributing the appearance of the blob to a technical glitch involving a long-dead comms technician. But could there be more to this than meets the eye?
The evidence suggesting the arrival of the Illuminate in Helldivers 2 is mounting. In-game broadcasts back in February hinted at Illuminate sightings, which Arrowhead dismissed as the work of dissidents. Furthermore, new weapons added to the game seem specifically designed to combat Illuminate biology, fueling speculation among lore-divers. A Major Order in the game led to the creation of what appears to be a wormhole to the Illuminate’s dimension, further solidifying the theory of their return.
Despite the growing evidence, Arrowhead’s CEO Shams Jorjani has labeled the reports of the purple blob as “fake news” on Xitter. This conflicting information has left players wondering about the true nature of the sightings on the Galactic War map. While the purple blob adorned with Illuminate iconography may seem fabricated to some, Arrowhead’s acknowledgment of it adds a layer of uncertainty to the situation. The question remains: are the Illuminate truly making a comeback in Helldivers 2?
For many players, the anticipation of a new enemy faction like the Illuminate has reinvigorated their interest in Helldivers 2. However, some players have expressed frustration with the delay in the faction’s official release, citing a lack of new content as a reason for not playing as much. The difficulty level of the game, particularly when playing solo, has also been a point of contention for some, leading to mixed experiences among the player base.
As players eagerly await the confirmation of the Illuminate’s arrival in Helldivers 2, Arrowhead’s recent announcement of a new balancing approach for the game shows their commitment to keeping the gameplay experience fresh and engaging. Whether the rumors of the mysterious enemy faction turn out to be true or not, one thing is for certain – the Helldivers community is brimming with excitement and anticipation for what the future holds in store.
