Watch On
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is ready to launch on September 9, however developer Saber Interactive has large plans past the preliminary launch. The studio shared its “Year One Battle Plan” at present—a rundown of 4 seasons of deliberate content material that can carry the sport deep into 2025.
The Space Marine 2 season go, included with the Gold and Ultra editions of the sport, “has been envisioned as a solution to improve your customisation on your character,” writer Focus Entertainment wrote in at present’s replace. “All the gameplay additions listed right here within the roadmap (together with weapons, sport modes, and maps) are supposed to reach in *free sport patches* and might be accessible to everybody.”
Interestingly, the primary season of Space Marine 2 might be centered on participant suggestions, “fast patches,” and the addition of promised options like ultrawide show help (no, Space Marine 2 is not going to have ultrawide help at launch, which is a bit odd, however it should have Ultramarine help—which I suppose is not actually the identical factor, sorry) and personal PvE lobbies. That must be a comparatively brief course of, as season two content material is anticipated to start out dropping someday between October and the top of the yr.Â
Free content material within the second season will embrace a brand new map, enemy kind, and weapon, a more durable problem stage, and “varied different enhancements,” whereas season go holders may even get new cosmetics primarily based on the Dark Angels chapter of Space Marines.
Things get a bit imprecise past that: New missions, modes, arenas, weapons, all to be specified at some future date, and extra beauty packs for season go holders. Focus has additionally launched a brand new “Focus Together” neighborhood hub, the place gamers can “chat with our crew, share suggestions and even counsel new concepts for Space Marine 2.”
“The launch is the beginning of a brand new chapter for all of us,” the crew wrote. “We’ll proceed to share common neighborhood updates in regards to the wealth of content material that might be coming to the sport by means of the remainder of this yr, and past!”
Space Marine 2 did not make a terrific impression after we checked it out in 2023, however a virtually year-long delay appears to have finished it a whole lot of good: In a hands-on preview earlier this month, senior editor Robin Valentine stated the sport “feels much more explosively, grimly, and hilariously genuine” than the unique Space Marine: “A slice of pure spectacle and chaotic enjoyable positive to please any Warhammer fan.”
