    HELLDIVERS 2 Devoid of Liberty Update Out Now

    We have watched the Void stretch across the galaxy for too long. The threat posed to our Liberty is too great and we can no longer stand by as the Illuminate gain ground. Helldivers, you are needed on the battlefield of a new frontier–one more wild and uncertain than any we have faced prior. We must venture into their haunted abyss, the Void, and liberate it back into Super Earth’s control.Journey to the VoidGetting into the Void presents a unique challenge. High Command has ordered reconnaissance missions to gather as much intel as possible in order to give us an advantage.The planets within the Void’s reach have been altered–strange mutations have left a permanent mark on planets, and intelligence reports suggest that these changes are even more significant the closer the planets are to the Void itself.

    Helldivers 2 isn't a cosy game, but the tranquil forests and beefed up exosuits of its latest patch might convince you it is

    Take a deep breath. Listen to some birds chirping. Watch some plants sway in the gentle breeze. Ahhhhhh. Life could be a dream. At least, it could be if the new forest biomes added by Helldivers 2's latest patch were in a totally different game. Instead, they're in a frantic shooter about murderdeathing space monstrosities, now with sturdier mech suits and rebalanced melee weapons at your side. Read more

    I'm your host, Release Captain Morris. When humanity is at stake, we bring you this update from Super Earth High Command to further your efforts in the war. *** INCOMING MESSAGE FROM SUPER EARTH HIGH COMMAND ***The beauty of our most Democratic galaxy is truly unparalleled. As we push into new territories, we have discovered planets with lush, tranquil forests with winding paths and shade from massive trees. Underneath the peaceful tree canopies, our Citizens can take time to unwind and reflect on the glory of Managed Democracy and the good, achieved by Super Earth's most illustrious heroes. However, not everything on these planets is what it seems. We have detected several of our Un-Democratic foes on the perimeter and there have also been some alarming signals on Gloom-infested planets--larger than the typical Terminid convoys, bearing a striking resemblance to some of the Bile Tita...

    Helldivers 2 update is set to unleash new missions to combat Illuminate alien exostorms and battle some fresh squid enemies this week

    Update: Arrowhead have just shared a graphic outlining what's coming in the next couple of months of Helldivers 2 updates. April's Terminid-themed update 6.2 will deliver two new biomes, fresh galactic war campaigns, and a new enemy variant. May's update 6.3, meanwhile, will come with a single new biome and its own fresh galactic war twists. Both months'll also boast the usual warbond and bug fixing patches. Arrowhead have opted against sharing too much in terms of what the future holds in Helldivers 2 so far, ostensibly to avoid galactic war spoilers, but it looks like this sort of roadmap - which is deliberately short on specific details - will be commonplace going forwards.

Illuminate Appropriators have made themselves known–shielded, powerful, and arriving in Illuminate Fleets, as well as hordes of Fleshmobs and Voteless.But that’s not all.

    Helldivers 2 gets new stealth missions today, and its super-slimmed install size version is finally ready to take over

    A new Helldivers 2 patch has arrived ahead of the slightly delayed Redacted Regiment warbond also making its sneaky debut today, January 22nd. In line with that warbond's stealthy shushness, this patch has seen Arrowhead add in new commando missions designed to reward those who know when to crouch-walk. They've also revealed that the slim build that's been in beta for a little while is finally ready to take the reigns from the standard version and its very chunky install size. Read more

    Into the Unjust: 5.0.2

    Bang bang less… Democracy doesn’t always need to shout. This patch is deploying some important updates to suppressed weapons, allowing Helldivers to eliminate threats with reduced detection and tighter tactical control. Expect quieter kills, cleaner engagements, and new opportunities for coordinated strikes before the enemy knows you’re there.Remember: stealth is a tool, not a substitute for overwhelming firepower. Use it wisely, Helldivers!So where could you use these new tools? In the brand new Commando missions! Helldivers are going deep behind enemy lines where their normal reliance on air superiority is no longer an option. Reinforcements have to be deployed in advance and destroyer support is a risky business with limited time. The Commando missions will be activated later today (14:00 CET) alongside the release of the Redacted Regiment Warbond. And, finally, after weeks of your...
