Helldivers 2 players have recently been buzzing with excitement as they report sightings of a new enemy faction on the game’s Galactic War map. Speculations are rife about the identity of this mysterious menace, with many believing it to be the long-awaited Illuminate faction making a return to the game. The game’s development studio, Arrowhead, however, seems to be downplaying these rumors, attributing the sightings to a mere glitch caused by fluids leaking from a dead comms technician’s corpse.
The trail of breadcrumbs leading to the possible return of the Illuminate faction in Helldivers 2 is hard to ignore. Back in February, players were treated to an in-game broadcast hinting at Illuminate sightings, which the developers dismissed as the work of dissidents. Furthermore, new weapons added to the game seem tailored to combat Illuminate biology, hinting at a deeper connection. A Major Order in the game also sparked rumors of a potential wormhole leading to the Illuminate’s dimension, adding fuel to the fire of speculation.
While some players claim to have seen the Illuminate iconography of a circle within a circle on the Galactic War map, others remain skeptical, pointing out the absence of the mysterious purple blob in their own games. Arrowhead’s CEO, Shams Jorjani, even went as far as labeling the reports as “fake news” on social media. This conflicting information only adds to the intrigue surrounding the possible return of the Illuminate faction in Helldivers 2.
Amidst the speculation and rumors surrounding the third enemy faction in Helldivers 2, Arrowhead recently announced a new approach to balancing the game. A previous update had upset players to the point where they were letting the Automatons win, prompting the developers to reevaluate their balancing strategies. This shift in focus hints at a commitment to keeping the game fair and enjoyable for all players, regardless of the challenges they may face.
As the Helldivers 2 community eagerly awaits the official confirmation of the Illuminate faction’s return, the rumors and sightings continue to fuel excitement and speculation. Whether the purple blob on the Galactic War map is a glitch or a deliberate teaser from the developers, one thing is certain – the anticipation surrounding the game’s third enemy faction is at an all-time high. Only time will tell if players will once again find themselves facing off against the evil squidlike creatures with Tesla beams and cloaking devices in the not-so-distant future. Until then, the mystery of Helldivers 2’s third enemy faction remains unsolved.
