Helldivers 2 is the game that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, they gave a little too much for PlayStation Czech Republic’s social media account, leaking the game’s next major expansion.

Titled “Heart of Democracy,” this massive content update is set to go live on May 20th across all consoles. One leaked video showed a player being deployed on Super-Earth, a place Helldivers 2 players have never visited, and essentially the beating heart of their Galactic efforts.

We don’t know much about next week’s update, but we’ve already gotten an idea of where Arrowhead Studios is going with their record-breaking live-service game.

This news comes just a week after Helldivers 2 dropped another major update, “Galactic Emergency,” which introduced a slew of new content, including loadout customization, expanded Warbonds, and a revamped SuperStore. But the biggest surprise? The arrival of Illuminate enemies, like the Fleshmob, a terrifying fusion of Illuminate and zombie horrors.

The rest of the new enemy types, the Stingray and Crescent Overseer, have also made every Helldiver’s mission to uphold Democracy even more brutal.

The Galactic Emergency event is live, with the Illuminate rampaging across three planets that Helldivers must defend. And with next week’s Heart of Democracy update, it looks like a return to Super Earth could be the next big step in finally stopping the Illuminate threat.
