The major update, Escalation of Freedom, for the co-op action shooter HELLDIVERS 2 on PS5 and PC is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, six months after the game's initial launch. This title, in which players form teams of up to four to defeat the aliens threatening the safety of Super Earth, will offer even more diverse content in this update based on player feedback!
Look Forward to the Biggest Update in History, "Escalation of Freedom"!
"Super Helldive," Difficulty 10
PlayStation.BlogThe maximum difficulty level for the game was previously Level 9, but in the "Escalation of Freedom" update, the maximum combat difficulty level will be raised to 10! Along with new missions, bot outposts and bug holes will be expanded, and new Super Samples will be offered as rewards.
PlayStation.BlogNew Threats
The "Impaler" Is Back By Popular Request!
PlayStation.BlogThe intimidating and destructive large bug from the first HELLDIVERS, the "Impaler," has returned by request! Facing the Impaler is spine-tingling; its size eliminates all escape routes for the player, leaving only confrontation as the path.
A New Terminid Enveloped in Fog, the "Spore Charger"
PlayStation.BlogEnveloped in fog, its location remains unknown until it is right upon a Helldiver. It seems to be a threat that makes previous Chargers look adorable.
A Large and Vile Terminid, the "Alpha Commander"
PlayStation.BlogThe powerful "Brood Commander" calls other bugs for reinforcement. However, it seems the previous "Brood Commander" was just the beginning.
The "Automaton" Rebellion
PlayStation.BlogIn addition to the formidable Rocket Tank, a new bot that players will struggle with will be added.
An Ominous Swamp, Unlike Any Before
PlayStation.BlogThis swamp, where dense fog, untouched wild plants, and dead, black trees block the light, has a heavy and ominous feel. Since visibility is heavily obscured, players must be prepared to use a flashlight at any time.
Measures Against Kick Abuse Added, Expected to Reduce Losses for Helldivers!
The issue of some players kicking others from the team has often been a problem. As a countermeasure, a system has been implemented where a kicked player will spawn as the host in a new session, retaining all team loot acquired in the previous session, and allowing the player to pick up all items before leaving!
The squad that performed the kick will see a message in the chat widget confirming the player was kicked, but their loot will not be modified.
Major Social Menu Revision
In "Escalation of Freedom," improvements will be introduced to enhance the player experience, including a major revision to the social menu, making it easier to play with friends.
