Images of the Illuminate enemies from Helldivers 2 have started leaking, hinting at a possible invasion in the game. The images show a combination of Protoss from StarCraft and Fallen from Destiny 2. The designs of the Illuminate seem to have evolved since the first game, leading to questions about their return and the possible story explanation for it.
The Illuminate were believed to be extinct after the events of the first Helldivers game, but their reappearance suggests otherwise. It is unclear how they will fit back into the game’s lore, especially considering that most information in the game comes from the Ministry of Truth, which tends to keep secrets. The return of the Illuminate could potentially shake up the ongoing campaign in the game, with enemy forces surging and defenses being mounted.
In-game hints about the Illuminate have been limited, with players spotting blue beams from the sky and cloaked ships lurking around. There are also occasional messages about their supposed extinction being a lie, hinting at their desire for revenge and potentially claiming Super Earth as their own. The possibility of a grand invasion of Super Earth by multiple alien forces is looming, but it is likely that Helldivers will save such a major event for later in the game.
While there is no timeline for when the Illuminate invasion may occur, players can expect to see more hints and clues about their return as new updates are released. The anticipation for a potential showdown with the Illuminate adds an exciting element to the game, with players eager to see how the storyline will unfold. Keep an eye out for more updates and developments as the Helldivers 2 community continues to unravel the mysteries of the Illuminate.
