Valiant Helldivers 2 players across Xbox, PC, and PS5 have been fighting a fierce Cyborg-led Automaton counter-attack tooth and nail ever since our invasion of Cyberstan ended in failure, but that doesn't mean Managed Democracy's other rivals have been resting on their laurels. In the southern sectors of the Galactic War, a new Illuminate threat has been brewing...and when the new Uncover the Truth update drops, we'll find ourselves in our next major engagement against the squids.
Developer Arrowhead announced the surprise new update with a trailer (watch it below) after teasing it through news reports of cultist activity on social media. The trailer — riffing on cheesy retro alien invasion media — confirms that the Illuminate are constructing strange new Exospire structures that create electrical "Exostorms" in their vicinity, and are linking to Exospires on other nearby worlds.
