Taking a step back from all the usual jokes about freedom and democracy, I’m curious about what would actually happen if we were to lose Super Earth. What if we mess up enough that the wormhole reaches Super Earth? If we leave the bot front vulnerable and they take over, does the game just keep going? Would we see a ‘game over’ screen, never able to play again? Or could it be that when we launch the game, it turns into some kind of documentary narrated by the bugs about humanity’s downfall?

Honestly, I doubt we’d get a complete game over screen. If that was in the design docs, there’s no way Sony would have agreed to it. I think there’s probably a plan in place for a reset like HD1 if it comes to that, maybe with a new Galactic War theme or an easier mission objective to help players regroup.
I just picture the PS5 exploding if we lose, but I’m on PC, so I’ll be fine! 😂
If we lost the war similar to what happened in HD1, we would likely just switch to a new Super Earth and start over. The game mechanics would probably not change drastically, allowing us to rebuild again from scratch.
But how would that work with this being an MMO? Would we go through the same missions all over? Do battle passes reset too?
Lucky you! Just hope the bugs don’t take over the PC platform too!
