Action stations: Helldivers 2’s next big Galactic War twist looks to be kicking off with a huge “STATION-81” tease and livestream

This is not a drill! Helldivers 2’s next big Galactic War twist, the one Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani suggested would lead to players pooping their drawers en masse, looks to be kicking off with a huge tease and livestream centered around a mysterious “STATION-81”.

Yep, the Meridian Singularity finally being stopped and a fresh Warbond now having dropped do look to have been the harbingers of something huge happening war-wise, as Arrowhead teased.

So, what’s going down? Well, as you can see via the freshly published Arrowhead livestream above, there’s suddenly a bunch of activity around the aforementioned Station 81, a satellite that all of these teases are about something trying – and failing to connect to.

There’s even a full Twitter account for it, which lists the satellite as being located in Super Earth’s orbit (uh oh), and is sharing messages like the one below, which has been retweeted by the official Helldivers 2 account. All of the teases point to each other, with the official Helldivers 2 Discord server being the final destination, and where the stream says players are “ordered to report to” for “immediate tasking”.

In it, you’ll find a brand new channel called “s81-satcom”, which has had the stream posted into it along with some messages similar to the Twitter teases, the latest of which reads: “$SATCOM//> LOGIN”.

This is a breaking story, with more to follow.
