Helldivers 2 players demolish Meridia, await Illuminate arrival

Helldivers 2 has successfully completed its latest Major Order, eradicating the Terminid Supercolony on the planet Meridia. Despite the intense challenge and the creation of a suspicious black hole during the mission, no immediate invasion from The Illuminate—an alien race from the first Helldivers—has occurred. This has led to speculation and theories among the player community, especially given the eerie noises, some likening to whalesong, emanating from the void left behind. As players await the next Major Order, Arrowhead Studios might be prepping for a future reveal, possibly involving The Illuminate in the Galactic War.

The Dark Fluid is an experimental substance involved in the recent Major Order on Meridia. Its use led to the planet's collapse into a black hole, fuelling speculation about future involvement of the alien race, The Illuminate, in the ongoing Galactic War.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, continues the cooperative, top-down shooter experience from its predecessor. The game features strategic gameplay against various alien races, with a storyline that evolves based on player actions and community engagement. As of now, players are eagerly waiting for the next development in this interstellar conflict.
