Oh no, the inevitable has happened. The Meridia black hole from Helldivers 2 finally gobbled up Angel’s Venture, a fate it seemed destined for as it crept closer with each passing day. Arrowhead made the gloomy announcement, declaring a time of mourning for the lost souls.
The warning signs were all there: the evacuation orders, the ominous advance of that colossal purple vortex on its path towards Super Earth. And now, with dramatic finality, Angel’s Venture has been erased from the galaxy’s maps.
Breaking the news, Arrowhead took to Twitter with a stark message that read, “Angel’s Venture has been torn apart by the Meridian Singularity,” alongside a broadcast highlighting the destruction for those who missed the spectacle. The post didn’t hold back, accusing the Illuminate of dropping their facade of intelligence and sophistication to reveal their true desire for chaos. In response, the President of Super Earth declared a 24-hour Galaxy-wide mourning period to honor the fallen.
In light of these developments, players are left reflecting on the day’s dark turn, despite the undeniably striking visuals of the event. A Reddit user known as ‘DickBallsley,’ who had previously pledged to save Angel’s Venture solo, took to the platform to lament, “I’m sorry everyone, I might have overdone it,” admitting that going full throttle might not have been the best approach. “Next time I’ll read what it says on the packet, this one’s on me,” they confessed. Needless to say, other users couldn’t resist throwing in the classic Obi-Wan Kenobi ‘You were the chosen one’ GIF.
As sad as the day is, the fight is far from over. The Meridian Singularity is now barreling straight towards Super Earth, with several other planets still in its path. The next strategic move will likely focus on trying to halt its advance, all while battling more Illuminate threats. Let’s cross our fingers that this new effort pans out better than the last fiasco.
