Arrowhead Studios has exciting news for Helldivers 2 players, as they will be receiving a new cape in recognition of the community’s triumph over the Illuminate during the Battle of Super Earth. Since its launch in 2024, the game has been receiving regular updates that enhance the cooperative shooter experience and maintain substantial player engagement. The recent Heart of Democracy update introduced a formidable new wave of Illuminate units, masking them as an even more dire threat to Super Earth. As players battled these enemies, they faced intense conflicts within the Mega Cities of Super Earth, which included significant plot developments such as the assassination of humanity’s president.
In addition to the new cape, Arrowhead Game Studios has announced an upcoming premium Warbond known as Force of Law, set to release on June 12. This Warbond will provide players with a range of impressive weapons, armor, and items, including the AR-32 Pacifier assault rifle, which boasts a substantial ammo capacity. The new armor will come with the Ballistic Padding passive effect, increasing resistance to chest and explosive damage as well as mitigating bleeding effects. Despite some recent negative feedback affecting the game’s rating on Steam, the community is rallying to restore Helldivers 2’s positive standing.
Fans are enthusiastic about the developers’ efforts to create special rewards commemorating key milestones within the game. For those who want to extend their Helldivers 2 experience beyond the screen, Dark Horse Comics is working on replica helmets inspired by the game, available for pre-order now, with plans for release in 2026. With so much content being introduced and more on the horizon, the future of Helldivers 2 looks promising for its dedicated fanbase.
