The user zoomed in on this content’s promotional image, which will arrive next month, pointing out how some gigantic ships are approaching from the depths of the galaxy.

Taking advantage of this, they discussed a theory that suggests the return of dangerous and powerful ships, which the Automatons would not hesitate to use. This new Helldivers 2 update has already been anticipated to feature a wide range of new enemies to showcase.

Other users took advantage of this post to share their own theories about the general functions of the Automaton. One player said that these evil robots use parts of Super Earth citizens as fuel to mobilize all their machinery.

Many players have given much attention to this particular theory, as they have witnessed humans disappearing from these robots’ factories with no apparent purpose.

For its part, the studio will launch Escalation of Freedom on August 6, bringing all kinds of new content to the title. One of the things that has already been confirmed is that there will be a new difficulty level for players who want a new challenge.

In addition to this, there will be new missions that have not yet been revealed. This was something the community had been asking for a while, because they were getting tired of doing the same thing over and over again.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
