Helldivers 2 Needs to Bring Back Three Enemy Units from Original Game as a Planet-Sized Boss Fight Campaign

In the vast expanse of Super Earth’s ongoing war against the galaxy’s threats, Helldivers 2 has carved out a niche for itself as a thrilling co-op shooter. But as players continue to spread managed democracy across the stars, there’s a growing sense that something is missing from the battlefield.

For veterans of the original Helldivers, that something might just be the epic, planet-sized boss battles that once defined the struggle against liberty’s foes. And with rumors swirling about potential new threats on the horizon, could now be the perfect time for Helldivers 2 to revisit one of its predecessor’s most beloved features?

The original Helldivers featured a unique boss fight system that pitted players against colossal enemies in multi-phase battles spanning entire planets. These encounters weren’t just about firepower; they required strategy, coordination, and a hefty dose of Super Earth’s finest ordinance.

And who could forget the Illuminate’s Great Eye, a being of such otherworldly power that it defied conventional tactics?

While some Helldivers might be content to rest on their laurels, believing past victories to be permanent, others surely know better:

The sarcasm in this statement isn’t lost on seasoned veterans. With Liberty Day approaching on October 26th, rumors are swirling that the Illuminate might be planning a surprise invasion of Super Earth itself.

This potential return could be the perfect opportunity to introduce a new generation of planet-sized bosses. Imagine facing off against an evolved Great Eye—its cosmic powers amplified by years of preparation in the void between galaxies!

And for players craving more strategic depth, these boss battles could be just what the doctor ordered:
