Major Update for Helldivers 2 Could Be Coming Soon

Sure, here we go:

—

So here’s the scoop. Might be nothing, might be something big (who knows with these rumors), but Helldivers 2 is supposedly getting an update called “Light of Liberty” on August 26. Yup, same day it’s slated to drop on Xbox too. Coincidence? Maybe. But it was a blip on the PlayStation radar thanks to some over-zealous tweet that got yanked real quick.

Picture it: February 2024, this game bursts onto the scene. And it’s wild. People loved it. Started out strong and just kept rolling. Tens of thousands playing together — crazy, right? In May, they even hit like 163,000 players on Steam at once. That’s a lot of folks shooting bugs or whatever the game has you doing.

Then come July, and boom! Xbox Series X/S was like, “Yo, we want in,” and the news was out, Helldivers 2’s heading their way, possibly with a fancy new update tagging along. Yeah, the leaks keep coming. Someone on Reddit saw a PlayStation France tweet—total accident, I guess—saying the update was almost here, then deleted it faster than you can say ‘oops.’

It’s something about liberating dark space or something — these names crack me up. I mean, remember those past updates, like ‘Heart of Democracy’ or ‘Omens of Tyranny’? Imagine the huddle where they brainstorm those names.

What’s the kicker? This Xbox launch, for sure. They’re teasing about linking up with Halo?! But seriously, new stuff could mean more folks joining in, which makes it a smart move, especially with the Xbox release.

Oh! And guess what? Gears of War is also sneaking onto PS5. First-time-ever kind of deal with Gears of War: Reloaded launching on the same day. Yeah, the console wars are getting spicy for sure.

Anyway, back to Helldivers 2. Buckle up, could be a fun ride. Or wait, where was I?
