With a fairly high average player count that has remained solid after five months of its release, Helldivers 2 continues to be one of the most popular games of the year.

This title has a unique mechanic that basically forces players to play as a team to complete the various missions. This unique mechanic has united the community in facing and completing various missions, even with people they don’t know.

Despite this enormous popularity, many players think the game is becoming repetitive and lacks inventiveness in adding new content. This is why users on sites like Reddit are asking for the game to introduce the often-referenced Illuminate, a new race that could be enemies or allies; it’s still unknown.

Maybe it won’t restore the entire playerbase, but it’s something we need in the near future for sure!

One particular user posted a meme referring to how the number of Helldivers 2 players would increase if they finally introduced the Illuminate. Some users disagree with this and prefer that the studio focus on fixing bugs and other issues in the game is experiencing.

On the other hand, several players think that even if these beings are added, nothing will change, and participants will not return to the title. In recent weeks, many active community players have been complaining about the monotony of the game.

This is even more pronounced when players complete another Major Order, but it doesn’t generate anything relevant in the game itself. Players experience a sense of unappreciation and a sense of pointlessness when completing these global missions.

The studio needs to focus on making a change. For now, Arrowhead Game Studios has made it clear that they will no longer release content for Helldivers 2 as frequently in order to maintain the highest quality.

The primary focus is on the forthcoming Warbond, with the expectation that the studio won’t reveal its release date to enhance the surprise for the community. The title looks for ways to reinvent itself.
