Sony accidentally leaks unannounced Helldivers 2 strategem

An unannounced Helldivers 2 stratagem has leaked online, seemingly by a Sony email.

The unforced error – which came via an official marketing email sent out to Helldivers – proudly introduces the Airburst Rocket Launcher players unlocked after they successfully liberated Penta during Operation Legitimate Undertaking.

There’s just one problem; the weapon in the image that accompanies the email isn’t the Airburst… or, indeed, any weapon currently in the game. It’s a gun no Helldiver has seen before.

Without spoiling it further here, the weapon doesn’t yet exist in-game, leading many people to believe it’s either a planned sneaky tease of what’s to come, or a mistake. I’ll leave you to decide which.

Sony just leaked a new stratagem!

It’s the latest in a litany of errors from Sony, starting with the infamous PSN debacle that kicked off earlier this year. At the start of May, Helldivers 2 publisher Sony announced players on Steam would soon be required to link a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to keep playing. This not only resulted in swathes of negative reviews from a very disappointed community, but the game was also pulled from sale in 177 countries where PSN was not available, forcing Sony to backtrack on its plans.
