Well, folks, Arrowhead just pulled a fast one on us! They’ve announced and dropped a significant update for Helldivers 2, calling it Omens of Tyranny. Talk about hitting the ground running!
“The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed,” reads the official description. Sounds ominous, right? It’s like your favorite sci-fi movie suddenly turned into a horror flick. Our galaxy is getting colder as old foes resurface and new terrors loom over freedom-loving citizens everywhere.
This patch will bring an entirely new faction stepping into the fray. Meet The Illuminate, a group that sounds like they walked straight out of a dystopian novel. Arrowhead describes them as “advanced, brilliant beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.” Seriously, who doesn’t love some good ol’ cosmic horror?
Do you ever wonder if game developers secretly try to mess with our heads? Because when you throw in advanced tech masquerading as magic, it feels like they’re playing chess while we’re still figuring out checkers.
