Alright, listen up, you soon-to-be-cannon-fodder! Helldivers 2, the game that’s totally not a thinly veiled satire of fascist regimes, is NOW on Xbox! 🎉 To prepare all you fresh meat Xbox players, Super Earth (aka Sony) has graced us with a recap of all the “glorious” moments since the game launched back in 2024. Get ready to spread “democracy” (read: explode bugs and robots) in style!
So, Helldivers 2, which totally isn’t just a way for Arrowhead Studios to collect your hard-earned cash, has been blessssed to arrive on Xbox! Rejoice, for now you too can experience the thrill of dying repeatedly for a cause you barely understand! Arrowhead Studios, in their infinite wisdom, has kept us “updated” on all the “intel” (aka propaganda) we need to keep throwing ourselves at hordes of bugs and bots. And if you’re really lucky, you might even get to fight the Illuminates, those sneaky aliens who are probably just misunderstood.
Of course, there’s a new deep dive video, because who wouldn’t want to watch even MORE footage of people shooting at things? Seriously, what else are you going to do with your time? Read a book? Learn a new skill? Pfft, get real. Watching a video about Helldivers 2 is clearly the superior choice. 🙄
Canonically, Helldivers 2 takes place 100 years after the first game, because apparently, we haven’t learned our lesson about galactic warfare. Super Earth is, once again, “threatened.” The Helldivers started their mission by exterminating escaped Terminids. They deployed the Terminid Control System (TCS), a series of towers designed to release Termicide and wipe out the bug menace. Sounds like a foolproof plan, right? What could possibly go wrong? 🐛💥
Oh, and let’s not forget the Automatons, who took over Malevelon Creek to build their “anti-democratic death machines.” The struggle of Malevelon Creek is still talked about on Reddit, because nothing unites gamers like shared trauma. 😂 Remember all the tears, ragequits, and broken controllers? Good times. After the Helldivers “stopped” the bots, they conveniently disappeared, only to be replaced by the Illuminate. Because what’s a galactic war without a rotating cast of enemies?
The Illuminate, those tricky aliens with their fancy technology, resurfaced and attacked a colony on Calypso. They used captured colonists to perform experiments, creating a new enemy called the Voteless. The battle of Calypso saw the “sacrifice” of almost 38 million Helldivers. “Sacrifice” is just a fancy word for “died horribly,” by the way. 💀
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the Xbox recruits join the fray! 🎉 Welcome to the meat grinder, newbies! You can read all about the “glorious” history of Super Earth on the Xbox website (because who needs actual history books when you have video game lore?), and learn all the “intel” you need to get started.
Oh, and don’t forget to check out the Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Warbond! Because what better way to celebrate the release of a game on a new platform than by selling you more stuff? 💰 Embrace the Super Earth lifestyle, soldier! Buy all the cosmetics, grind for all the resources, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll earn a pat on the head from the glorious leaders of Super Earth. Now go out there and spread some “democracy”! Just don’t expect to survive for very long. 🫡
It is a great game! Go buy it and give them all your money, you need to give the CEO a raise. 💸💸💸
This game is so good, the first one was good too, therefore this one is automatically good. 🤡
If you have a problem with the game, you are probably a communist and you hate freedom. 🤔
Oh, and don’t forget to spread managed democracy, or else! 😈
