The latest major update for Helldivers 2, titled Omens of Tyranny, is live right now, having been announced during The Game Awards. The patch adds the mind-controlling Illuminate civilization to the game, a faction that uses psychic powers to overtake Super Earth citizens and transform them into mindless thralls.
As seen in the trailer that was released during The Game Awards, the update also adds a Jeep-like vehicle to the game and new urban, city-like environments as well. Only time will tell how these new additions affect the flow of the ongoing conflict to defend Super Earth, as this update means the Game Masters that affect the enemy strategies in the background of Helldivers 2 now have more toys to play with as they attempt to outsmart players’ efforts.
