The arrival of the Illuminate immediately changed the state of Helldivers 2, bringing a brand-new enemy type to the game alongside numerous gameplay additions. However, it seems the threat of the Illuminate has only just started as the game continues to tease their invasion of Super Earth

The Illuminate are coming to Super Earth 

Following leaks of Super Earth maps that have been in development for almost a year now, it seems that the Invasion of Super Earth is nearing its debut. 

As the Illuminate work on its devastating Space Nexus to warp across the universe, it appears that the psychic aliens are getting ready to make their attack.

For the past week, players have been able to see Spacetime Fluctuations occurring within the game’s galaxy map. While these fluctuations were quite small, the in-game indicator is now spiking with much higher peaks than before. 

While there’s no announced release date for the invasion, it definitely seems like something big is coming very soon. With other Illuminate enemy types — such as the terrifying Illusionist enemy — the enemy faction is about to get a massive upgrade in troop variety.
