The recent buzz surrounding leaked screenshots of the Helldivers 2 in-game map teasing the arrival of the Illuminate faction has been quashed by Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani. Despite the persistent rumors and speculations about the Illuminate making a comeback in the sequel, Jorjani dismissed the images as “fake news,” putting an end to the excitement among fans.
The leaked images, which surfaced on social media platforms, depicted the in-game map of Helldivers 2 featuring symbols of the Illuminate near a sector controlled by a new enemy faction. However, Arrowhead wasted no time in removing the apparent leak from the map, implying that the existence of the Illuminate in the game is still unconfirmed.
In response to the circulating images, Jorjani bluntly labeled them as “fake news,” casting doubt on the authenticity of the leak. Furthermore, an in-game message attributed the supposed leak to “organic tissue degradation on electronic equipment,” hinting at a technical glitch rather than a deliberate teaser for the Illuminate faction.
While fans of the Helldivers series eagerly anticipate the return of the Illuminate in the sequel, the lack of concrete evidence from Arrowhead leaves the existence of the faction in question. Despite the likelihood of their eventual appearance in the game, it remains unclear whether the leaked images were indeed a hint at their imminent arrival or simply a technical mishap.
The purported leak of the Illuminate faction in Helldivers 2 has been debunked by Arrowhead, casting doubt on the validity of the images circulating online. Until an official confirmation is provided by the game developer, the speculation surrounding the Illuminate’s return remains unsettled. Fans will have to wait patiently for further updates from Arrowhead to determine the fate of the elusive alien faction in the highly anticipated sequel.
