Helldivers 2 will send you deep underground in the next major update on September 2

By Liam Dawe - 27 Aug 2025 at 10:26 am UTC

As if the Halo ODST crossover for Helldivers 2 wasn't enough, now we're actually going underground too on Terminid Hive Worlds. Now I'm really excited and will absolutely have to get some hours back into this, which was a struggle before since Dune: Awakening practically took over my life for a while.

These Hive Worlds have been terraformed by the Terminids, with vast cave networks we'll need to dive into. And, since you're underground, no Super Destroyer to help you. This is all about the Gloom, the thick fog that covers the Hive Worlds which has also mutated the Terminids so there will be some new threats too.

Some new types of missions will come with the update too like escorting a mobile oil rig, which sounds just a little like Deep Rock Galactic. There will also be another new Premium Warbond with a bunch of new gear to unlock.

That entire video is immensely cool. Bit of a shame that they've bumped the ODST Warbond up 50% in price, but there is a fair bit of content in it. Not sure if I'll pick it up (never played Halo), but it might be worth it for the SMG alone, since I play a lot of ballistic shield, which forces a one-handed weapon.

But the caves! They look amazing. And I love that since you can't see your super-destroyer when you're in there, you can't call down any strategems without finding a section of the cave that is open to the sky!

Graphics look like complete garbage though emoji

Looks like Halo, Darksiders, made with Unreal Engine 2 without even using prebaked shadows emoji

P.S. The tavern guy is gold material too emoji

I’m going to assume you’ve never played at, as graphically it looks great.

Suspect you need to check your internet, or YouTube settings or something. HD2 is one of the more beautiful games you can play today.
