Overview

Inspired by classic fan projects like Rooster Teeth‘s “Red vs Blue” and born of a dedicated Helldivers thread in our Discord channel, this mini-series features members of DEE Team who regularly play together and wanted to celebrate the first anniversary of the infamous Malevelon Creek campaign in a very on-brand way!

Plot Synopsis

POV: It’s 2185.

While prepping for another grueling mission spreading DEMOCRACY, you fire up the Super VHS™ recording of the latest episode of the most DEMOCRATIC show on Super Earth following the chronicles of fellow Divers JUST LIKE YOU*. All presented in a SUPER 4:3™ aspect ratio** for maximum patriotism!

So clean off the bug guts/oil/squid goo/etc. from the mission that just made you miss the live broadcast, grab a nice cup of Liber-tea, and prepare to Dive for DEEmocracy with our latest fan work made in our 2024 Game of the Year!

*Portrayed by professional Super Content Creators from Super Twitch and Super YouTube.
**As all Super Citizens should know: the “4” symbolizes the number of Divers in a unit, and the “3” is the number of existing factions oppressing freedom in the Galactic War.
