The developers of Helldiverse 2 tried to make us believe that the automatons faction was eradicated for good. The robots are already back for a massive response.
First rule of Helldiverse 2 : we must not declare victory too quickly. Second rule of Helldiverse 2 : you should never believe the developers. Recently, they congratulated the community for eradicating the threat posed by the Autotons in an epic battle. It was a decoy. The robots are already back, announce a tweet published on April 9.
“ In a way, the automatons are back. As we suspected, the previous robot force was only a vanguard. A massive fleet has begun an assault on Cyberstan and the surrounding planets. Helldivers, contain this unwarranted invasion. The fight goes on ! », can we read on the official account ofHelldiverse 2. When you start the game, an oral order is given at the start to alert the troops.

Therefore, the new urgency is to defend five identified planets within three days. The briefing states that “ the automatons have revealed their true power: a massive invasion fleet is ravaging our territory. The defenses are weakening. Slow their progress as much as possible. » We sense a form of alarmism which foreshadows a real comeback of the automatons. A priori, they are not close to being eradicated, as many people believed.
On the galactic conflict map, we can see that three sectors are affected (Valdis, Lacaille and Hydra). The robots attack from the northwest. The Lacaille sector brings together four planets which are under the control of the automatons (Choohe, Chort Bay, Penta and Lesath). They have priority. As for the Hydra sector, less affected for the moment, we must recapture Menkent at all costs.

You had to be somewhat naive to believe that automatons were ancient history. Helldiverse 2 is only two months old and is at the top in terms of popularity. Removing an enemy faction so quickly would have been the equivalent of a shot in the foot for the studio. Unless they planned to quickly introduce a third opponent — which will happen, sooner or later.
