New Helldivers 2 Update Introduces Terrifying Threats on September 2

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Arrowhead Game Studios has announced a major content update for Helldivers 2 titled “Into the Unjust,” set to launch on September 2, 2025. The expansion will introduce new environments, enemies, and mission types as players continue their battle against the alien Terminids.

The update focuses on the Gloom, a dense fog that enshrouds a new set of Hive Worlds inhabited by hostile forces and mysterious alien structures. Players must venture into both surface areas and underground cave systems, where they will encounter the Hive Lung, a biological entity believed to generate the Gloom.

Due to the subterranean settings of the missions, players will find themselves with reduced access to orbital support from their Super Destroyer, making cooperative gameplay essential. This change adds a layer of complexity as Helldivers must rely on teamwork to navigate dangerous environments.

The new threats include subterranean Terminid Warriors, known as Bile Spewers and Chargers, which can burrow underground and erupt to attack when they detect intruders. Additionally, a flying variant known as the Dragonroach poses a significant aerial threat, diving from the skies to unleash corrosive bile on unsuspecting Helldivers.

Arrowhead has hinted that even larger and more dangerous creatures may lurk in the depths of the Hive Worlds, adding to the tension of the exploration. The update will also challenge players with new objectives, such as escort missions featuring a mobile oil rig and operations to locate and destroy the Hive Lung.

On September 4, just days after the update, the Dust Devils Premium Warbond will be released. This pack includes new weapons like the AR-2 Coyote assault rifle and the G-7 Pineapple cluster grenade, along with two new missile-based stratagems, the EAT-700 Expendable Napalm and MS-11 Solo Silo.

Players can also customize their experience with new cosmetic items, including armor sets, capes, emotes, and vehicle patterns. Both armor sets will feature the Desert Stormer passive, granting resistance to environmental hazards such as fire and acid, as well as increased throwable range.

Helldivers 2 launched in February 2024 and has seen frequent updates that enhance cooperative gameplay and expand the game’s universe. With this upcoming “Into the Unjust” update, Arrowhead is set to deliver new challenges and ways for players to engage in the battle against the Terminids.
