Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Gameplay, Storyline, And Everything We Know
Back in 2012, developer Relic Entertainment reminded people that even though the galaxy was a grim and dark place to inhabit in the 41st millennium--possibly even grimdark--there was no cosmic threat that couldn't be solved by a genetically engineered and cybernetically enhanced super-soldier wielding a chainsaw sword. Yes, you can tell your kids that this was the original Chainsaw Man.
More than a decade later, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II picks up where the first game left off, introducing audiences to Captain Titus and his fellow Ultramarines. Here's everything that we know so far about it, including its release date, platforms, and how its gameplay is shaping up.
There's no concrete release date yet, but publisher Focus Interactive is aiming to launch Space Marine II on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC in 2023.
Relic Entertainment developed the first Space Marine game back when publisher THQ was preparing to make a financial blunder with the WeDraw tablet, but for the sequel, Saber Interactive is handling development duties. The developer and publisher has launched a number of well-received games over the last couple of years, including World War Z: Aftermath and Evil Dead: The Game, but for Space Marine II, it knows that the pressure is on to deliver a great sequel to a beloved cult-classic.
«We didn't want to create just any third-person shooter.
