Arrowhead Studios clearly enjoys playing with our emotions. Just one year after that legendary battle for Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2 is calling soldiers back to the infamous jungle planet to defend against a brutal Automaton resurgence.
Nightmares Return to the Creek
Following a recent Major Order failure, the community had been anxiously watching reports of the deadly new Automaton Incineration Corps advancing toward the Severin Sector. This brings back painful memories of that first grueling campaign where thousands of Helldivers gave everything to secure Malevelon Creek.
This jungle hellscape earned nicknames like "Robot Vietnam" for good reason - dense foliage hiding lethal enemies that could ambush you from any direction. The original victory was so hard-won that Arrowhead commemorated it with a special veteran's cape.
Over the weekend, Command confirmed our worst fears: The Creek needs defending again. The new Major Order reveals the Incineration Corps is making a direct assault, with early skirmishes already erupting across the sector.
Super Earth's military briefing frames this as a sacred mission, calling on Helldivers to protect the final resting place of fallen "Creekers" and prevent "the greatest net desecration" during upcoming Memorial Day observances.

The Community Responds
The Helldivers community is buzzing with excitement. Veterans are dusting off their gear while new recruits relish their chance to experience this legendary battlefield firsthand. The subreddit has exploded with references ranging from Starship Troopers to bizarre culinary anime crossovers.
What makes these moments magical is how they weave personal stories into the larger galactic narrative. Watching thousands of players spontaneously coordinate to defend this symbolic location creates something no scripted campaign could match.
But veterans know better than to celebrate too soon. While current defensive efforts are holding, there's five harrowing days left in this Major Order. The Automatons keep probing our lines, and whispers suggest Arrowhead might have more surprises in store. One thing's certain - this week will be unforgettable for every Helldiver who answers the call.
