Helldivers 2 roadmap updates, future content and leaks about things to come have slowed down in the last couple of months, but there’s still plenty on the way, including hints of the Illuminate (but aren’t there always), as well as the confirmed and impending Escalation of Freedom update. Not only that, but HD2 has historically had a pattern of introducing new elements and content without warning - new enemies like theHelldivers 2 Shriekersbeing a prime example. Still, a lot of what’s to come is either revealed in leaks and datamines through the community, or openly teased and trailered in advance of them coming later.

With that in mind, I’ve gathered all the info that’s currently out there regarding future content updates for Helldivers 2 on this page, with both officially confirmed updates for the roadmap ahead, and those suggested by leaks and datamines.

If people want anofficial Helldivers 2 roadmap, a timeline of updates to come, then you’re out of luck: there isn’t one. Or, to be more accurate, there isn’t oneanymore. The last known comment on such wasa Tweet by Arrowhead CEOJohan Pilestedt, who said that a roadmaphadexisted at one point, but was “very out of date in comparison to what we now want to do” - and a new one was being worked on. Whether that new one will be publicly released or just kept in-house as a framing for future content is still something we’re waiting to find out.

It’s also worth saying that Helldivers 2 doesn’t always officially announce new content in advance, sometimes only making obscure teases or allowing information to spill into the public sphere to wind up hype on a more informal level. Point us, don’t expect a trailer for every update, or even a Twitter post - Arrowhead seem to be playing things more unconventionally than that.

Below we’ve listed plausible - butnotofficially confirmed - future content for Helldivers 2, hinted at either by unofficial leaks or by datamined elements within the game’s files. However, it’s worth putting these into perspective -just because a game file or leak suggests a new mechanic or feature doesn’t necessarily guarantee that it’s coming.

Sorry to disappoint, but it’s entirely possible that the feature was in development at some point in the past, but later cancelled, leaving unfinished junk files still within the game. So while it’s definitely worth keeping that in mind, the existence of datamined files and leaksdoeselevate the following possible updates to something more than mere rumour or wishful thinking.

Beyond these elements, new content to come has only been spoken about in broad, vague terminology that makes it hard to specify exactly what players should expect, like simply referring in general terms to new enemies and weapons - though what forms those things take remain to be seen.
