Helldivers 2 grunts have been channelling their inner Master Chief and exercising their very democratic right to ignore High Command over the last few weeks, and it was all in an effort to liberate a planet with vague similarities to Halo Reach's titular world (they both have planets called New Alexandria and are/were alien-infested, for example.) But their valiant, maybe illegal defiance has now been rewarded by an official holiday.
"The planet Seyshel Beach was liberated earlier this week following a long and concerted campaign by a small but inexplicably dedicated group of Helldivers," the game's social media account tweeted. "To annotate this long-awaited victory over the Illuminate, the citizens of the planet voted to establish the date of the planet's liberation as "Avengement Day.""
