Helldivers 2 is approaching an essential fictional anniversary: Liberty Day. On October 26 the residents of Tremendous Earth, Arrowhead Recreation Studios, and the playerbase rejoice wonderful liberty, an event that the unique recreation would mark with title display fireworks and (usually although not at all times) in-game occasions or content material additions.
It actually appears to be like like Arrowhead is prepping for one thing, as a result of gamers are within the strategy of constructing the brand new Democracy Area Station (DSS), “a robust strategic software for reshaping the Galactic Map.” The sport’s Main Orders (which is how the Helldivers are herded round planets) have centered on liberating related planets over the previous few weeks, ping-ponging gamers between Automaton and Terminid planets. Effectively, largely Automaton to be sincere.
The Helldivers have largely succeeded with these MOs: Most not too long ago, Claorell was taken down, with the prize a brand new alloy enabling the DSS to make FTL jumps. Cloarell has sadly confirmed a little bit of a repeat offender over this era, with the bots unwilling to surrender management and pushing again, however this newest victory introduced the information of a cloth the Automatons are utilizing in building, which is sort of undoubtedly trailing the Iron Fleet enemies discovered within the recreation’s recordsdata (flying, armoured bots).
“I am hoping [Liberty Day is] when the DSS is completed,” says Least_Clothes, with xPsyrusx agreeing “that is the most secure guess.” However the copium fumes are all main in a single path: the sport’s as-yet-unseen third enemy faction stomping in to break the occasion.
“We lastly end the DSS then the Illuminate present up and instantly destroy it,” reckons Chancer93. “The Illuminate, beginning with an invasion of Tremendous Earth in the course of the celebrations,” says Everkid612. “We’re gonna get Battle of Coruscant’d and they’ll use the distraction to determine themselves within the galactic south.”
“Though it is in all probability not going to occur please make the final word reference by pulling an Independence Day,” agrees Child-Colt, “releasing the Illuminate on Liberty Day with no warning by any means ever could be the absolute best transfer.”
The chances are high that Liberty Day will contain the DSS not directly, as a result of the timings are only a tad too handy. However that is the primary likelihood Arrowhead’s needed to rejoice Liberty Day within the new recreation, and Helldivers 2 has in fact been profitable past expectations, so there’s going to be some kind of blowout: however whether or not that is only a shiny new base of operations or a full-fat Illuminate invasion stays to be seen. We’ll be on the Tremendous Earth frontlines reporting again both method. Lastly, an particularly good contact is the date itself. The Helldivers rejoice Liberty Day on October 26 as a result of, on October 26 1959, the novel Starship Troopers was first printed.
