Players of Helldivers 2 have long been suspecting the spooky Illuminate baddies from the first game must surely be lurking in the wings – and as of The Game Awards today, they have been more than revealed: they are actively attacking.
With a stellar trailer showcasing the horribly un-democratic actions of these enemies the trailer ends with the shocking reveal that all this content is out now.
So Arrowhead shadow-dropped an entire enemy faction alongside some sweet new rides – as the trailer also showed off humvee-like vehicles to help get you and your homies to the battle, even if the battle is now against scary protoss-looking dudes and their zombie horde.
The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed, These are dark times for freedom-loving citizens everywhere. Our galaxy grows cold from the embrace of old enemies returning and darkens with the threat of new horrors emerging. They are advanced, highly intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.
Oh, and they have giant three legged striders. Better hope you brought some heavy firepower.
Helldivers 2 – Omens of Tyranny is out now on PC and PS5.
