Helldivers 2's Terminids are getting even more deadly.
Last week, Helldivers 2 players were treated to a big surprise when a new Terminid quest showed that the bug threat was evolving. Toward the end of the story quest, players spotted flying Terminids, leading many to assume this was going to be a new wrinkle from developer Arrowhead Game Studio. Instead, the devs quickly took to Twitter to let everyone know that these supposed bug sightings were merely"propaganda from bug sympathizers.
— HELLDIVERS™ 2 March 21, 2024 The new Twitter post features a short video showing off the flying Terminids with text that reads,"Flying Terminids appear without warning. Termicide clearly prevented worse mutations." This video from Strohmann News also features the caption,"Breaking: In a shocking turn of events, sightings of flying bugs have been reported from the frontlines. According to the Ministry of Truth, no previous sightings have ever been recorded in history.
This news isn't that surprising because Arrowhead previously used similar marketing tactics. When mechs weren't officially in the game, we started to see them randomly pop up in the days before Arrowhead made an official announcement. This style of marketing has been working very well for the developers so far, so there's no reason to expect them to stop anytime soon.
