Sad Eagle Scream Eagleopolis has fallen despite Helldivers 2 players slapping up 2.5 billion squids for an opening victory in the battle for Super Earth, leaving six Mega Cities to defend "To unleash the flames of Justice and triumph over Tyranny, we must battle through the inferno before us." Image credit: Arrowhead News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on May 23, 2025 Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Well, good news, Helldivers 2 managed to win the first major order of the battle for Super Earth by slaughtering over two billion Illuminate. The bad news? It's not stopped Eagleopolis from falling. As it turns out, not even the biggest number of Helldivers the game's had since last spring diving in to help try and hold off the invasion of fresh Illuminate baddies was enough to stop one of Super Earth's seven Mega Cities being reduced to ruins. It's ok, don't cry. Hug your SEAF buddy and watch a clip of someone surfing on a Leviathan if that'll help. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The previous major order, which was the Helldivers' initial defense of Super Earth after the Illuminate invasion of their home planet began with the arrival of the Heart of Democracy update, ended this morning. Things looked good, the goal of casually killing 2.5 billion Illuminate had been achieved. Let the good times roll right? Nope, said Arrowhead. "Eagleopolis, a venerable stronghold of Managed Democracy since time immemorial, lies in ruins," the studio informed us all via its latest MO briefing, "Its tattered shopping centers stand in warning as to the fate that awaits the rest of Super Earth, should our mission fail." So, that's one of the seven Mega Cities which make up Super Earth destroyed, but there's still a long way to go in the battle for Super Earth, and that win has seen folks make some progress towards wiping out the entire Illuminate fleet or forcing it to retreat.

The Helldivers must dig in, alongside their SEAF allies, and continue to fight, day and night, to defend the heart of our Federation. The surviving Mega Cities must be defended at all costs. The Helldivers must deploy to the Mega Cities as Illuminate pressure shifts among them to prevent them from falling. Once they fall, they cannot be reclaimed." Hence the latest order's goal - successfull extract from missions against the Illuminate 20 million times, in order to strike a further blow to the fleet's big invisible health bar. And, of course, to avenge Eagleopolis, which I'm sure people on the game's subreddit would be cut up about if they weren't too busy post fan art about loving their SEAF trooper buddies in a fashion that totally isn't getting a bit creepy.

Previously, gameplay leaks of the Illuminate attacking Super Earth have leaked, and now fresh Helldivers 2 leaks have shown even more of the impending Super Earth invasion, while also providing a long list of Mega Cities set to be attacked. Helldivers 2 leak shows more of the impending Super Earth invasion Prominent Helldivers 2 leaker, Iron_S1ghts, has a Discord dedicated to datamining discoveries. In this Discord, there are some fresh images of the upcoming Super Earth invasion, with SEAF troops accompanying players on the battlefield. In addition to the above images, HD2 YouTuber Thordan Smash has revealed on X that, as per Iron_S1ghts, “In addition to to Super Earth and Cyberstan getting Mega Cities In Helldivers 2 it looks like Klen Dahth II Event planet will also be getting them”. Image credit: @thordansmash on X Lastly, Iron_S1ghts previously shared screenshots showing that there will be various missions for protecting Mega Cities when the invasion of Super Earth lands.

However, this post was quickly deleted by the PlayStation account, so it may not be accurate and there’s always the possibility of internal delays. Iron_S1ghts has said “May 20/21 matches when the illuminate should hit SE,” but “Dates with game updates are typically pretty spontaneous, even internally”. We will just have to wait and see if the update comes out as posted by PlayStation, and we also have to wait and see if we get the leaked new car.
