In b4 Super Earth now sees the Helldivers as a threat, and tries to Order 66 them. Flipping the map inside out as now players need to fight their way inwards towards Earth.
A have never even touched the game but this is how you do a live service! There is so much excitement and enthusiasm around this game that even a non-player like me can feel it.
My wacky theory is that we won't have wars like with the first game. The bots are coming back. And with the Illuminate leaks, I think they're bringing friends.
