Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been a long time coming - the first game debuted over 10 years ago! The wait is nearly over, thankfully, as the game will fully launch on September 9. Players who preordered the fancy editions of the game are already enjoying its 3-player online co-op and PvP modes, but the rest of us won't have to wait too much longer.
Official description:
Across all modes, you’ll embody the brutality and superhuman skill of a Space Marine as you fight against the worst the galaxy has to offer. Smash xenos skulls in close combat with superhuman strength and a flesh-sundering chainsword. Unleash heavy weaponry with the power to decimate whole battlefields and annihilate the enemies of Mankind. Combine the two in a whirlwind of bloody combat as you bring victory for humanity.
Enjoy the campaign on your own or with friends, as every mode is fully co-op-enabled, with customizable characters for PvE missions and PvP battles that can be upgraded as you play. More content is also on the way with new missions, enemies, weapons, and much more now in development for post-launch support!
Gamers with early access certainly seem to be enjoying Space Marine 2, and it has plenty of critical buzz as well. We look forward to hopping into the campaign with a friend or two and blasting lots of vile Tyranids.
As for the future, the developers have shared a roadmap that lets players know what to expect from updates and DLC over the next year. This game should have some legs, something that many Warhammer 40K combatants end up losing eventually. War is tough, man.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is now available on Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
