Leaker claims massive new Helldivers 2 content drop includes new faction and will be titled Omens of Tyranny 

Let
me
preface
this
by
saying
all
information
here
should
be
taken
with
a
large
spoonful
of
salt
as
the
leaker
in
question
is
using
a
throwaway
account.

Aptly
named
Helldivers_Throaway,
a
Reddit
user
is
claiming
to
have
seen
a
new
trailer
for
upcoming

Helldivers
2

content,
although
they
do
not
elaborate
on
how
they
had
access
to
said
trailer.

The
user
goes
on
to
describe
what
they
saw
in
the
trailer,
revealing
that
a
new
faction
and
“even
cars”
will
be
getting
added
to
the
game.

The
new
faction
is
likely
be
the
Illuminate,
which
has
been
teased
in
Helldivers
2
since…well,
pretty
much
since
the
game
launched
at
the
start
of
the
year.
The
Illuminate
hype
really
reached
a
peak
months
ago
as
more
and
more
strange
things
began
to
occur,
hinting
at
their
arrival.
However,
developer
Arrowhead
ended
up
having
to
do
massive
rebalancing
work
and
it
seems
the
new
faction
was
pushed
back
because
of
it,
despite
it
being
claimed
that
they
already
exist
within
the
game’s
files.

The
throwaway
account
adds
that
the
new
content
is
dubbed
Omens
of
Tyranny,
and
that
the
trailer
ends
with
a
message
saying
“Out
Now”
which
leads
the
poster
to
believe
that
the
content
could
be
available
this
week
or
next.

Of
course,
The
Game
Awards
are
just
days
away
now,
and
such
a
big
event
would
certainly
be
an
idea
place
for
Sony
and
Arrowhead
to
drop
a
major
new
expansion
for
Helldivers
2.

Oddly
despite
the
immense
player
numbers
the
game
drew
and
its
ongoing
success,

Helldivers
2
did
not
get
nominated
for
Game
of
the
Year
at
The
Game
Awards.
It
is
however,
up
for
Best
Ongoing
Game
of
2024.

Finally,
the
user
says
they
are
happy
to
contact
the
subReddit’s
moderators
to
provide
more
information
to
help
support
their
claims.
Thus
far
though,
no
moderator
has
chimed
in
to
say
whether
the
information
appears
to
be
real
or
not.
