Arrowhead Game Studios has just brought Hell back to Helldivers 2, adding new magma planets for you to steam on right now.
Earlier today, Arrowhead released a trailer (an in-universe propaganda piece) declaring that pesky automatons are once again stealing natural resources from planets “rightfully owned” by humanity, this time lava-filled planets, interfering with Super-Earth's interstellar colony project – er, I mean a perfectly run, fully democratic project.
Magma planets are now present in Helldivers 2, along with Python commandosso now you can “accidentally” push friendly divers into lava pools.
“Fight for the future of our bright-eyed voters of tomorrow,” the trailer description reads. “The soulless Legion of Automatons are plundering ancient magma worlds and STEALING our priceless resources. Smother this hellish injustice in all-new missions against mining bots, ruthless guards and deadly machines.”
“Arrowhead took so long to cook that the planet overheated,” one online commenter. wrote. Instead, everyone else is making Star Wars jokes, and frankly, it's too obvious to No do.
“It's over, Missile Devastator, I have the advantage,” one Helldivers commentator. subreddit reads. “I see that Mustafar needs a controlled democracy,” another sneers. “Almost 200,000 prequel memes ready, another million on the way,” jokes a third. As you can imagine, the thread is also full of tons of gifs of Anakin getting roasted as everyone is just excited to recreate the hot Darth Vader revival with their divers. Just make sure you have some elevation, okay?
