A new Warbond has been announced for Helldivers 2, and one of the included items may increase your risk of accidentally taking out your fellow Helldivers. The Second Galactic War has been heating up recently with the Battle for Super Earth, which saw the deployment of the beloved SEAF infantry into the field, but developer Arrowhead Game Studios is already looking ahead to a new Warbond. 4n2d34

The Second Galactic War has come home to Super Earth, and Helldivers 2 players are growing quite fond of their new battlefield comrades, the SEAF troops. The Illuminate invasion of Super Earth has begun the most dire story arc in the game's history, but it's also brought some wonderful new content, including Super Earth Armed Forces NPCs that fight alongside the Helldivers in the streets of Super Earth's mega cities.

Helldivers 2 is returning to Super Earth in its new update, Heart of Democracy. Last week's update teased the invasion of Super Earth, and now, players will head there to stop the alien attack. Despite the recent controversy over Helldivers 2's PC performance in particular, as well as other issues, like previously attempting to require a PlayStation to play the PC version of the game, the third-person shooter has seen a steady stream of updates, and this next one has been on fans' radars for a while.

A massive new update has just been released for Helldivers 2 today, May 13, bringing new Illuminate enemies and the long-awaited addition of weapon customization. This is likely what the Helldivers 2 developers were cooking when new content slowed in recent weeks, and this latest saga in the Second Galactic War sees Super Earth itself on the verge of being overrun.

Another Warbond is coming to Helldivers 2 on May 15, but following its reveal, players are already critical of how little it's offering. Warbonds are the co-op shooter's steadiest influx of new content, charging players 1,000 Super Credits for new armor, weapons, stratagems, boosters, and more. Players have been vocal about a steady decline in each Warbond's content, though, and Masters of Ceremony is continuing the unfortunate trend.

A new trailer for Helldivers 2 appeared online briefly before being mysteriously removed by PlayStation, and it's got players speculating that an Xbox port may be coming soon. The co-op third-person shooter came to PlayStation 5 and PC in February 2024, but since it's published by Sony, it is not available on Xbox, despite the community's general hope that it'll reach more platforms.

In a bizarre conclusion to a Major Order, Helldivers 2 players found that a whole planet had disappeared, but this time it wasn't destroyed by the Illuminate with the Meridian Singularity. The game has steadily seen new content over the past year, but players are also growing frustrated at the increased frequency of bugs. A PC performance fix is on the way, but the latest technical hiccup made an important objective impossible.

Helldivers 2 has been on an impressively consistent schedule of new content since its release in early 2024, but the game has been without a significant patch for a little while, and the next expected Warbond has not even been revealed. The conflict with the Illuminate is ramping up in the Second Galactic War, and while the game itself appears to be in a bit of a lull, Arrowhead Game Studios has assured fans that there's more in the pipeline coming soon.

The active community that has sprung up around Helldivers 2 has kept the game a joy to follow since its release in early 2024, and a fan video making the rounds online is just the latest example. The ongoing Second Galactic War, which the Helldivers 2 devs say will last for years longer, and the playerbase's willingness to roleplay along has made the game a highlight among other live-service offerings. Many games receive an abundance of fan art, but the consistent tone and aesthetic of Helldivers 2 gives its players a chance to make some truly fitting images and videos.

A new Major Order is underway in Helldivers 2, and Super Earth high command seems confident that they are nearing the end of the Illuminate invasion. The game's third enemy faction emerged some months ago, but has remained largely stagnant since, invading planets nearly at random with far fewer enemy types than the Terminids' and Automatons' ranks boast.
