Super Earth faces an unprecedented disaster as the Meridian Singularity, a black hole that has lingered in the "Helldivers 2" galaxy for months, finally collides with Angel's Venture. This devastating event resulted in the complete annihilation of the planet, claiming the lives of over 480,000 Super Earth citizens.
Don't stress yourself too much since this is only a disaster in the game, but upon seeing that final distress transmission sent from Angel's Venture at 5:07 a.m. PST, we know that the days of some citizens are already numbered once they couldn't get out anymore on the Terminid-controlled world.
Angel's Venture: A Battlefield Lost to the Void
Longtime "Helldivers 2" players will remember Angel's Venture as one of the first Terminid planets that divers were tasked with securing. Its amber forests and vibrant pink-green landscapes provided a breathtaking backdrop for countless battles.
Now, that world is nothing more than space dust—a haunting reminder of the war's unpredictability, PC Gamer's Morgan Park describes.
To honor the lives lost, Super Earth High Command has declared 24 hours of mourning. An official dispatch released by the government acknowledges the gravity of the situation:
"This is an incalculable loss. The land cultivated by generations. The lives of the Super Earth citizens whose evacuation could not be prioritized," the in-game dispatch reads. "The proud pines shading the Democratic Youth Scouts campground."
"All gone forever, ripped to shreds by savage cosmic forces," the in-game dispatch adds. "Finally the Illuminate, hiding behind their mask of intelligence and sophistication, have revealed what they truly want: carnage."
Who Is Behind the Meridian Singularity?
For weeks, the "Helldivers 2" community has speculated that the Illuminate faction has been manipulating the Meridian Singularity. In-game data confirms that the singularity has been accumulating dark energy at an alarming rate. The more energy it absorbs, the faster it moves—posing an imminent threat to additional planets.
According to the latest galactic map, the singularity is now on a direct collision course with Super Earth. Before reaching its final target, five other planets stand in its path: Moradesh, Ivis, Nublaria I, Pilen V, and New Haven. If no action is taken, these planets may suffer the same fate as Angel's Venture.
Polygon's Cass Marshall says that if you want to understand what tragedy struck Angele's Venture, you need to dedicate your time to understanding Meridia. Meridia, before it became a Terminid Supercolonoy, was a planet. Helldivers knew that siphoning the Dark Fluid was the key to eradicating the swarm of mutated Terminids.
Super Earth's Costly Mistakes
Ironically, the Meridian Singularity itself is a consequence of Super Earth's own actions. Last year, Helldivers deployed an experimental chemical weapon known as Termicide to exterminate the Terminid threat. However, instead of eliminating the bugs, the formula backfired—causing extreme mutations that led to the emergence of flying Shriekers.
In an attempt to fix their mistake, Super Earth unleashed a series of dark matter bombs, which ultimately consumed the planet Meridia. That catastrophic event birthed the Meridian Singularity—an uncontrollable black hole that now threatens all of civilization.
Angel's Venture Will Not Be the Last World in 'Helldivers 2' to Disappear
With the Meridian Singularity rapidly closing in, Super Earth faces its most dire crisis yet. Will the government find a way to halt this cosmic menace before more planets fall? Or will hubris and miscalculations doom them all?
For all "Helldivers 2" gamers, we are infinitely curious as to why these things are happening. Angel's Venture will be the lost memories of our adventures soon, but who knows if other planets are in danger, as well.
