A recent leak from PlayStation has potentially revealed the next Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2, titled “Freedom’s Flame”. This upcoming content pack is expected to bring a wide range of fire-themed goodies to the game, including new weapons, armor, capes, and customization options.
Despite Arrowhead Game Studios’ announcement earlier this month that they would be slowing down their update release pace to focus on quality assurance, it appears that a brand-new Warbond may be on the horizon for players.
A Look Back at Helldivers 2’s Warbonds
Following its surprise hit launch in February, Arrowhead Game Studios has consistently delivered new content for Helldivers 2 through “Warbonds” – themed battle pass updates that typically introduce fresh stratagems, weapons, armor, capes, and various customization options. Each Warbond usually comes with a price tag of 1,000 Super Credits, equivalent to approximately $10 USD. However, players can earn Super Credits naturally through gameplay, eliminating the need for real-money transactions to access these updates.
The Leak: Freedom’s Flame Premium Warbond
In June, Arrowhead Game Studios released the Viper Commandos Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2, but hinted at a slower release cadence for future updates. However, a recent PSN notification obtained by Reddit user ExoticBobcat777 suggests that the next Premium Warbond may arrive sooner than expected. The notification reveals an unannounced “Freedom’s Flame” Premium Warbond, which appears to be focused on fire-themed content.
What to Expect from Freedom’s Flame
Get ready to turn up the heat, Helldivers! The Freedom’s Flame Premium Warbond promises to bring an arsenal of new fire-based weapons, life-saving armor, stylish capes, fresh emotes, player cards, and patterns. The mention of “cool capes” has sparked speculation about the long-awaited arrival of the infamous review bomb cape.

Release Date and Player Base
While details about the release date remain scarce, Arrowhead’s renewed focus on update quality might push the Warbond’s launch beyond July. With Helldivers 2’s player base dwindling to historic lows, the studio may opt to release Freedom’s Flame sooner rather than later, in an effort to rekindle enthusiasm and reignite the game’s spark. Only time will tell if this strategy will pay off.
