Helldivers 2 is the latest first-person shooter released by PlayStation, and it’s been off to a high flying start on both PS5 and Steam.
With more and more players eager to enlist for the fight for democracy, there might be a new threat coming for players.
Here’s what we know about the Illuminate in Helldivers 2.
Is There a Third Faction In Helldivers 2? Illuminate Explained
Helldivers 2 features a ton of destruction within the game, and whether you’re calling down an orbital strike to enemies, or using one of the new weapons you unlocked, something is always being shot at.
Players will need to be on their toes, as yes, there is going to be a third faction from what we can tell in Helldivers 2. But, this is purely based on speculation at the time of writing, and we suspect that the Illuminate will join the fight against Super Earth sometime in a future update.
In Helldivers 1 they were described as the following.
“The species have since taken their first tentative steps towards the stars produced weapons of mass destruction in large scale and as such, is something that the people of Super Earth cannot ignore.”
Players will notice this lifeform strikes some resemblance to the Conveant from Halo, and they shouldn’t be messed with when it comes to combat. We’ll be sure tp keep players update as to when we can expect the Illuminate to join Helldivers 2.
