Helldivers 2 Fight May Be Heading Back to Malevelon Creek

Helldivers 2 players expect a possible return to the notorious Malevelon Creek on the horizon, thanks to Arrowhead Game Studios’ ‘Major Order’ that outlined the Automaton’s uprising. Helldivers 2 first launched in February 2024 to immediate critical acclaim and the story follows the titular soldiers tasked with combating threats to humanity during the 22nd century. The live-service shooter continues to be a pioneering title of the genre one year later, by striking fear into the hearts of players for democracy.

Malevelon Creek is one of five planets dotted within the Severin Sector, boasting atmospheric, twilight jungles and vast ponds to navigate. The location became greatly significant during the Automaton Expedition, and sadly, was the final resting place of many Helldivers. In the Summer of 2024, Helldivers 2 players thought the Meridia mission was becoming the new Malevelon Creek, thanks to its chaotic and punishing nature that required strength in numbers to overcome. However, the creek has had a lasting effect on soldiers’ memories.

Helldivers 2 PLayers are Preparing for a Return to Malevelon Creek

Helldivers 2’s Automatons need a difficulty tier list to aid players in annihilating the hordes, but the thought of Helldivers uniting once again against the bot hordes at Malevelon Creek left some players giddy. One Redditor stated a return to the Creek “both scares me and excites me,” and another noted, “Some part of me was left in the Creek, and I took some part of them with me.” More Helldivers thought it would be a requirement to wear the free Malevelon Creek cape throughout the mission if Arrowhead does return players to the planet, but a separate player revealed they had never taken the cape off.

Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani recently revealed why Helldivers 2 doesn’t have a content roadmap, teasing that the studio likes to be in the dark about what’s coming next. The boss explained that players shouldn’t expect to see a roadmap appear shortly, but Arrowhead’s stellar communication and transparency with the community make up for the game’s hidden direction.
