Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Studios is bringing players back to the infamous Malevelon Creek, a year after its liberation, to defend it against the advancing Automaton forces. The recent failure of a Major Order had sparked concerns among players about revisiting the Creek, especially with the Automatons' new Incineration Corps pushing into the Severin Sector. Malevelon Creek, known for its challenging jungle terrain and formidable enemies, became a legendary battleground, earning nicknames like "Robot Vietnam" during Helldivers 2's early days. Following the successful defense and liberation of the Creek, Arrowhead honored the players' efforts with a commemorative cape.
Over the weekend, a new Major Order was issued, confirming that Helldivers will return to Malevelon Creek to counter the offensive led by the Incineration Corps. The sector is already seeing invasions and skirmishes, with forces moving towards the Creek. Super Earth has called upon its Helldivers to protect the resting place of the fallen "Creekers" and prevent the desecration of the upcoming Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.

The Helldivers 2 community is buzzing with excitement over this Major Order. The subreddit is filled with memes referencing Starship Troopers, the Doom Slayer, and even Delicious in Dungeon, showcasing the players' enthusiasm. Veterans of the original Creek battle are ready for another round, while newer players are eager to experience this iconic location. These communal efforts highlight the game's ability to foster shared experiences and build towards significant moments within its ongoing narrative.
However, there's a sense of uncertainty as some players speculate that Arrowhead might have more surprises in store. Despite the current success in defending Malevelon Creek, the Major Order still has five days to run, and the sector remains a focal point for Automaton attacks. As the situation develops in real-time, this week promises to be thrilling for Helldivers players as they engage in the ongoing struggle for the Creek.
