Helldivers 2 Teases 'Face the Unknown' Reveal and a New Cultist Enemy for August 12

Arrowhead posted a teaser for a major Helldivers 2 update titled "Face the Unknown," with a full reveal set for August 12, the same day the paid Warhammer 40K "Castellan's Creed" warbond drops. The teaser points to Helldivers landing on Illuminate home planets for the first time and introduces a new enemy subfaction called the Cultists. Arrowhead has not confirmed a release date for the larger update, so treat the specifics as a tease until the August 12 stream.
