For those in a bubble, Helldivers 2 took the world by storm earlier in 2024. Taking on bugs, robots, and hilarious friendly fire, your job was to drop in on colonized planets and take them back from whatever enemy ravaged the planet's surface. With a plethora of weapons, ordinances, and other world-saving equipment, players massacred millions of enemies across months of gameplay.
Now, fresh off their win for Multiplayer Game of the Year, they just dropped a massive update during The Game Awards show. In the Omen of Tyranny, a new threat faces humanity, the Illuminate. From the Helldiver's wiki, they're a highly sophisticated; their civilization has endured for several hundred thousand years. They call themselves the Squ'ith and are originally an aquatic species. These creatures dressed in ceremonial robes have managed to create a vast and extremely complex neural network for space travel.
