Helldivers 2 takes place a century after the events of the first game, with Super Earth having prevailed against its adversaries – the deadly, termite-like insects, the disgusting Overlords and the mysterious Illuminati. With its enemies vanquished and the Galactic War won, an era of peace and prosperity has ensued. The Helldivers, Super Earth’s elite force, have been dismissed.
