Helldivers 2 is an absolute blast and there is a lot for the community to look forward to during October. We have the Democracy Space Station on the way, and there will also be Liberty Day in a few weeks. While nothing has been announced and nothing new has surfaced, it’s possible we could also be getting a spooky Halloween event judging by an old Helldivers 2 leak.
Right now everyone is eagerly anticipating Liberty Day which takes place on October 26th. This is a yearly Super Earth holiday, and a leak has revealed new armor as part of the celebration. In addition, there are signs that the arrival of the Illuminate is closer than ever, and we do have more buffs on the way for the jump pack and purifier.
While Liberty Day is exciting, a lot of the Helldivers 2 community are wondering if Arrowhead will deliver a Halloween event. The developer hasn’t announced or hinted at anything, but an old leak implied a celebration of All Hallows’ Eve could possibly happen.
Helldivers 2 Halloween event leak
Back in May, there was a leak from IronS1ghts that suggested there could be a Halloween event for Helldivers 2.
This leak shared screenshots of an in-game model for a bug idol called “Greg“. It kind of resembles a pumpkin with beady eyes perched on top a black sack.
According to IronS1ghts, Greg is “worshiped by the bugs as a ‘Bug Idol'”. Its filename is “Bug Idol 1,” and this filename “entails the existence of other bug idols”.
Although unconfirmed, the leaker said “This model is likely linked to a Halloween event”. They also reiterated that it is something they datamined from in-game files.
Unfortunately, there have been no other leaks alluding to a Halloween event, nor have there been any hints or teases from Arrowhead. It’s possible we could get some sort of All Hallows’ Eve celebration in-game, but nothing is guaranteed.
