Helldiver 2 Leak Shows Off Mech Gameplay Footage

Helldivers 2 players are confidently taunting Game Master Joel after taking six planets, defending two, and capturing two whole sectors in just a few days of hard-hitting, democracy-spreading action. Something that's sparking fear in others afraid of the retaliation the overlord will inevitably bring.

A new Xbox console has been certified in South Korea. Identified by model number 2089, the newly leaked device has been labeled as an Xbox dev kit.

Masters of the Air tells the story of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group, also known as the Bloody Hundredth, which used its fleet of B-17 heavy bombers to cut a swathe of destruction from the English Channel to Berlin during World War II. The nine-part Apple TV Plus miniseries, which airs its final episode Friday, is basically everything that baby Charlie — his nose pressed against the pages of obscure history books all throughout middle school — could’ve ever hoped for. But, now that it’s over, I think I’ve found a way to extend the experience just a little further thanks to B-17 Flying Fortress Leader, an excellent solitaire board game from Dan Verssen Games.

There's a new scent in the air, and it's not the smell of charred bug remains from an orbital strike — it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee from the new coffee mug. is unlike any live-service game in recent memory, capable of pulling together players from all over the world from different walks of life to a common goal. It goes without saying that the fanbase is hungrier for additional content. Arrowhead Game Studios, creators of the game, aren't leaving people wanting and have just announced a new line of merchandise in collaboration with Sony.

Helldivers 2 is an action-packed third-person shooter full of hostile planets, relentless enemies, and many, many explosions. But between all of the bug splatting and robot crumpling is a long list of memorable quotes that somehow never get old. Ranging from punchy, tongue-in-cheek one-liners that would rival the best 80s’ Arnie movies, to hilarious declarations of propaganda-propelled patriotism, they underline the satirical foundations of Super Earth’s storytelling.

Last month, Helldivers 2 players were mourning the loss of Malevelon Creek, a planet so hotly contested between the people fighting for Super Earth and the Automaton threat that it was officially dubbed "Robot Vietnam" by the community. It was a very long and tough fight that eventually ended in defeat, but a small group of players has been plugging away ever since, determined not to let the planet be completely overrun.

Helldiver 2's Malevelon Creek is now so renowned that the player-driven campaign to retake the planet now has its own movie parody trailer, and it has the approval of the game's director to boot.

Shortly after releasing a major balance update for Helldivers 2, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has now kicked off a new major order for its players. Tying in with the upcoming release of pilotable mechs, players have now been tasked with liberating the planet Tien Kwan in order to get production of the EX-45 Patriot Exosuit going.

Helldivers 2 has plenty of weapons in its armory for players to gun down robots and bugs with, but one thing that has been a constant request from the fanbase is the addition of mechs. Leaks from last month appeared to show off gameplay footage of mechs in action, and an official post from the Helldivers 2 Twitter account teased that they'd be "on the battlefield soon" and are in production in factories across the planet of Tien Kwan.

A new leak for Honkai: Star Rail has revealed gameplay footage of the upcoming five-star characters, Acheron and Aventurine, who are expected to join the roster in update 2.1. They won't be the only additions to the game, as HoYoverse has confirmed the arrival of an additional four-star unit named Gallagher.

Further light has been shed on the mysteries of the Helldivers 2 universe, in which those titular heroic troopers spread Democracy to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, crushing both Bugs and Bots under polished jackboots. What insidious intelligence directs these loathsome foes of Freedom and Liberty, you ask? An Arrowhead Game Studios employee named Joel.

Helldivers 2 players are perplexed to be losing a planet, despite well over 350,000 soldiers attempting to liberate it.
