On February 10, Helldivers 2 will receive a major update called "Oppression Machine", which will add the cyborg faction to the game, known to fans from the original Helldivers. Along with this, a full-scale invasion of Super-Earth forces on the planet Cyberstan will begin in the game universe. The supreme command of the earthlings justifies the military operation by the presence of weapons of mass destruction among the cyborgs, threatening democracy.
Arrowhead Studio has also released a video in which the developers talk about cyborgs and their combat units.
