Helldivers 2 players may have only recently started the efforts to rebuild Super Earth following the big Illuminate invasion earlier this year, but be warned – our fight against the squids definitely isn't wrapping up any time soon

When the Illuminate invaded Super Earth back in May, all but two of our noble Mega Cities fell. Although we eventually claimed victory against our democracy-hating foes, at the time, High Command told us that they'd "gone into hiding," so they weren't defeated entirely.

Considering that we're now in the process of rebuilding our fallen Mega Cities, let's just hope that the Illuminate don't stroll back in to ruin things again right when we're on the verge of returning to normality. Obviously, Arrowhead isn't giving away anything right now – chances are we'll only properly find out what the squids have planned when their schemes are already in motion.
