Let’s be honest, Helldivers: Super Earth is worth it. No matter what “it” is. All Helldivers share this belief, and fanatical loyalty is expected from all citizens of Super Earth.

Godspeed. For many of you, today – 4th September, 2025 – will forever be known for one reason: the day that Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched on Switch and Switch 2. But of course, while Silksong will undoubtedly soak up a heck of a lot of attention, the day doesn’t just belong to one game….
