Helldivers 2 Sends Squads Onto Illuminate Home Worlds in the Free Face the Unknown Update
Arrowhead Studios rolled out Helldivers 2's free Face the Unknown update on August 12. The co-op shooter (up to four players drop onto a planet and fight through enemy armies for the galaxy) pushes squads into unexplored space and, for the first time, onto the home worlds of the Illuminate, the game's squid-like faction. A short teaser also points to a new Cultist subfaction and an unfamiliar enemy with long arms and a massive hand that players have not fought before.
