A bile spewing T-Rex would be a sight to behold. Hope its teeth remain in one piece.

"Let's fight dinosaurs": Is Helldivers 2's Joel Set to Throw Us a Jurassic-Sized Curveball?

SUMMARY

  • There are reportedly 253 planets in the game that are secretly connected via a supply chain.
  • A previous leak gave an over-the-top look at the leaked planet but there's no resemblance between the two.

Players may make this new planet their favorite. Helldivers 2 players are hopefully getting one planet with a lush green environment, just like the ‘Space Vietnam’ or Malevelon Creek that Automatons took over on February 2024. Although it was entirely overrun by the merciless robots, rumors were that players may get a chance to liberate it at some point in the future,

All the events were revealed to be controlled by Game Master Joel. Since the name came to light, players are more than aware of the in-game conditions, as they now know that they don’t know what hell Joel would let loose while they are busy liberating a planet. For now, it seems like he’s about to throw a primordial planet towards them.

Helldivers 2 Players Are Loving the Primeval Vibe

Helldivers 2 has already sold around eight million copies globally.

A Helldiver was seen running through primordial bushes while tackling giant bile-spewing bugs on a planet that resembles the primeval era in a leaked social media video. There doesn’t seem to be a planetary hazard but it featured conflagrations which appear to be a result of some volcanic activity.

Users are already loving the video and one even found a resemblance to the famous 1994 musical The Lion King. “Man that’s pride rock.”

A user dubbed Derek wrote with a GIF showcasing a popular scene from the movie.

Some are already in the primordial feel and expecting encounters from the creatures belonging to the era.

Now there aren’t any updates on any new creatures or factions arriving in Helldivers 2, players can expect persisting enemies including the Terminids and the Automatons to continue to invade the Super Earth.

Recently, debates regarding the arrival of the Illuminate, a faction seen in the last game, started occurring over the internet. However, Arrowhead Game Studios hasn’t confirmed this officially. Even if they don’t arrive, they should throw a T-Rex or two spewing bile all over the place.

This Primordial Planet Looks Different

The game currently features over 250 planets in Super Earth.

A few days ago, someone posted an image of an acidic primordial planet on social network Reddit. However, after observing the latest gameplay and the image, it appears to be a couple of different planets.

However, there is a possibility of changing weather during the game, leading the Helldivers to seek shade to prevent getting soaked by acid rain.

Whatever Joel is planning, it won’t be a cakewalk, for sure. But that’s one of the things keeping players engaged in the game.

Moreover, a Reddit discussion points to some fascinating stats that cement the fact that players are dedicated to the game.

We’ve killed roughly 7,4 billion enemies and lost 222,8 million Helldivers so far. That means that the average Helldiver kills 33,2 enemies in his short life. Not accounting for those Helldivers who are still alive though.

For now, the game has sold nearly eight million copies across the globe, and the growth doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon.
