Helldivers 2 players notice absence of Illuminate enemy faction after recent update

In Helldivers 2, the Illuminate, a new enemy faction, have disappeared from the game after players successfully completed their objectives on the planet Calypso. This follows the Omens of Tyranny update, which introduced the Illuminate and new gameplay features. Currently, there are no missions involving the Illuminate, as they have been reported as repelled by the Helldivers. Players are expressing disappointment over missing the chance to engage with this enemy faction, leaving them with fewer challenges. While the Illuminate are absent for now, there is speculation about their potential return. Previous enemy factions have made comebacks, and players are hopeful for the Illuminate's resurgence in the near future.
