Taking his passion for democracy one step further, a fanhas created his own Super Earth broadcasting service to keep players informed on the state of the galactic war. Keeping in tune with the satirical nature of the game, players of the co-op shooter are all working together to «liberate» planets from the evil forces of the Terminids and Automatons in a large-scale meta-game. To track their progress, Arrowhead has inserted several fictional news broadcasts that keep Helldivers informed of their contributions to the war effort, but one user has taken this propaganda to the next level.
Over on TikTok,user Super Earth Broadcast (via ) is uploading «educational» videos for Helldivers to both enjoy and learn about the state of Super Earth's intergalactic campaigns.
Many of the videos are dedicated to highlighting successful pushes on some of 's more contested planets like Mort and Malevelon. There's even an exclusive interview with notorious team-killer GantzTheDemon where the SEB questions the player about what are deemed "" activities.
The Super Earth Broadcast channel is currently managed by only a single person who goes by Finnegan. Speaking to, the creator explained that he doesn't prepare a script for the brief minute-long episodes but instead looks at the in-game galactic map and comments on successful missions while also highlighting sectors that are struggling to hold back the hordes of enemies. All the footage is captured by Finnegan himself, and the fan uses generative AI to create the various voices that provide narration over the clips.
After 's meteoric success, Finnegan further explained that while he knew there was a community of invested players,he never thought he'd manage to attain his current following, which numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Not even developer Arrowhead thought would be as popular as it currently is. In the weeks after the game's launch, the studio had to expend a great deal of additional resources to increase the amount of servers available to players to eliminate lengthy queue times.
's reviewshave been positive, with critics and players praising its exhilarating and tense combat, emphasis on smart tactical decisions, and compelling monetization and progression system that adequately rewards players. Arrowhead has confirmed that it still has plenty of plans for the game's future. This makes sense, as recent datamines have revealed that fans can expect to see new weapons, Stratagems, and enemies in future updates.

Helldivers II is the follow-up to the 2015 multiplayer top-down single-player/co-op shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios. The sequel, which has shifted gears to a third-person shooter format, drops players into

boasts delightfully intricate gameplay systems, and people are still discovering not-so-hidden mechanics and features to exploit. Some features are relatively intuitive, found naturally by simply completing missions. In the chaos of Terminid and Automaton combat, however, Helldivers are hard-pressed simply to survive from one skirmish to another. In the pandemonium, many of the game’s unique mechanics hide in plain sight – in view but out of focus.
For players having trouble with the overbearing difficulty of 's hardest operations, the game's newest booster could offer an easy solution. As part of 's ongoing battle pass system, the recently added Cutting Edge Warbond has introduced several new weapons, armor pieces, and cosmetics to the game — and, while not every new piece of equipment has proven to be effective in every situation, the Warbond does hold some potent options for high-difficulty missions.
Super Earth's galactic war in never rests and based on some recent clips, the fight is about to become a whole lot more frantic. Following the game's launch, the community has already been spread thin fighting on two separate fronts in an effort to push back the enemy forces of the insectioid aliens known as the Terminids and the deadly robots called the Automatons. If that wasn't challenging enough a third faction is seemingly creeping into but it should be familair to anyone who played the original game.
There's a conspiracy deep at the heart of , and the recent update only complicates the matter. announces in-game events via Major Orders, transmissions from the development team that direct players to complete certain types of missions on certain planets. Major Orders track the progress of players worldwide, allowing Helldivers everywhere to share a common goal, and promoting further unity among the people of Super Earth.
While continues to dominate the video game industry, one star is eager for a crossover with the game his film inspired. It doesn't take a lot to recognize that Arrowhead Studios' game and Paul Verhoeven's cult-classic sci-fi have a great deal in the company especially given that both act as satirical comments on the modern military-industrial complex and the influence of propaganda on society. Despite these heavy themes, there's still a great amount of fun to be had in either given that they also spotlight soldiers firing big weapons at giant alien bugs.
As the Galactic War in continues to evolve, new challenges are constantly being introduced, giving players plenty of opportunity to experiment with new strategies. A recent Major Order has refocused the war effort on the Terminid front, tasking Helldivers with activating the newly operational Terminid Control System in unique missions similar to those in the failed Automaton defense campaign. Getting the Terminid Control System up and running brings its own difficulties to the game, however, and there are a couple underrated Stratagems that can really shine in these unique missions.
Several players have insisted that they've encountered a new type of flying Terminid but in keeping with the game's satirical tone,Arrowhead Studios' CEO Johan Pilestedt believes it's all nonsense. In the weeks after the game's launch, the community has been hard and working trying to figure out exactly what could be causing the Terminids to spread so rapidly among the stars. Some are speculating that Super Earth itself could be creating the «aliens» but the game's director is trying to throw everyone off the scent.
Although it may be many months away, players should mark October 26 in their calendars now. Historically, this day holds significance within the community, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios is likely to have something in store to celebrate it.
The worlds of and collide in an excellent fan animation that homages the iconic work of legendary animator Genndy Tartakovsky. Given that both and the Prequel Trilogy feature plenty of battles against killer robots, it makes sense that an artistic fan would combine the two franchises in some form or another. Yet this piece of animation that imagines what Tartakovsky's take on Super Earth's galactic war would look like is perhaps the best way of mashing the universes together.
The managed democracy of Super Earth wants players to perceive that the Terminds are evil and disgusting arthropods in however, the government has obscured the actual truth behind the war. The game drops hints that humans have sown the seeds for the current conflict for nearly a century. While the reasons for war are varied, the driving force for the ongoing Terminid War is the fuel extracted from decomposing genetically modified bugs.
Although is, for the most part, a game that's easy to learn in terms of moment-to-moment gameplay, the exact workings of the galaxy-spanning war for liberation that the game centers its overarching progression around can be a little harder to intuit. Pitting players against (at the moment) two different factions on separate fronts of an unending war, centers much of its overarching narrative and gameplay progression around liberating and occasionally defending planets from Terminids and Automatons, with Major Orders designating specific objectives for the entire playerbase to achieve over periods of time.
The biggest threat to democracy in isn't bugs or Automatons — sometimes, it's other players. Despite being a relatively new game, has already developed a devoted community. That largely stems from its co-op gameplay, which encourages, if not requires, concentrated teamwork. It's not always perfect — selfishness isn't unheard of in . Still, players soldier on, working to get more players invested in the effort to spread democracy through the universe.
