Observant Helldivers 2 players have noticed what appears to be a PlayStation leak indicating that soldiers will soon defend Super Earth's streets against the Illuminate threat.
Following Arrowhead's full Illuminate invasion rollout this week – which introduced new enemy variants – in-game lore hinted at the aliens making a direct assault on humanity's homeworld. The recent leak from PlayStation's Czech Republic Threads account strongly suggests this narrative will culminate in ground combat on Super Earth itself.
Reddit user xTekshi captured the since-deleted post referencing a "Heart of Democracy" update scheduled for May 20. While this phrase appears in current patch notes, neither Sony nor Arrowhead have confirmed this specific release date.
The timing adds credibility to the leak, as May 20 coincides with the conclusion of the current Major Order event.

This development aligns perfectly with Sony and Arrowhead's foreboding messaging ("High Command believes this Fleet's ultimate objective to be the invasion of Super Earth itself" and "Battle on Super Earth is inevitable").
The community believes this accidental leak reveals Helldivers 2's next major content drop – including revolutionary Super Earth combat scenarios. Currently limited to alien planet battlefields, this expansion would dramatically transform the explosive third-person shooter's gameplay dynamics.
