Helldivers 2 is a massive success from Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game’s theme appealed to the gaming community and some players are starting to sow doubt about whether or not the war for democracy is real or a figment of their imagination.

The universe is vast and cold and could hold together the watering holes of different kinds of species. The players have been fighting since day one of the game’s release and are beginning to ask questions that the higher-ups may not be comfortable answering about the in-game universe.

Arrowhead Game Studios did a fantastic job with the game’s lore and it kept the gaming community entertained while fighting the good fight. The developers are now exploring the idea of adding new biomes for the players to explore, and the recent leak featured a Presidential Mansion map in Helldivers 2 which can open more opportunities for mission types.

This idea could improve the variety of maps and biomes the universe has to offer, however, some eagle-eyed players have noticed something strange about the celestial skies. There is a strong possibility that all of this could be a simulation to keep the citizens of Super Earth calm and more compliant.

I’m surprised to see nobody ever mention this… The stars in the sky are aligned!

There can be a handful of reasons to explain this weird phenomenon. On the technical side, perhaps the developers of Arrowhead Game Studios reused the same star patterns, and the gaming community is too observant to notice the similarities, another reason could be that everything is a simulation.

Perhaps this is all a scheme by the Ministry of Truth to spread propaganda and keep the citizens of Super Earth at bay. Perhaps there are secrets to the universe that the Ministry knows and refuses to let the people know for reasons unknown.

The truth can be a scary thing to demand especially if those with higher power have good reason to keep it a secret. Perhaps the developers will offer an explanation that could tie into the narrative and enhance the gaming experience for players to discover by themselves.

Lying can be viewed as an act of mercy and sparing people from the truth is a way to keep their worlds spinning. There is no telling what the aligned star patterns could entail and what transpired to make it happen and more noticeable.

Some are suggesting that everything is an illusion and the recent destruction of Meridia with the use of Dark Fluid from the Illuminate faction paved the way for them to return to the galaxy. Black holes work both ways and could be the answer to how these vile creatures made their back after losing the first Galactic War.

Perhaps the Illuminate is behind this simulation and is keeping the citizens and the Helldivers hostage. The developers can design a mission type where players break free from this simulation.
