Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Release Date Announced | Game Awards 2023
After a significant delay to the second half of 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 finally has a firm release date: September 9, 2024.
Space Marine 2 is the explosive third-person shooter / melee hybrid set within Games Workshop's famous grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe. It’s in development at Saber Interactive, maker of the World War Z video game.
In Space Marine 2 you play Lieutenant Titus of the Ultramarines and battle to fend off a Tyranid invasion, with Thousand Sons Chaos Marines thrown in for good measure.
Saber revealed more Space Marine 2 gameplay in August, promising a gritty third-person action experience that lets players rip through oceans of Tyranids. It’s set to be another entry in the expansive Warhammer 40,000 universe that even took inspiration from Syama Pedersen’s Astartes fan film.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S on September 9, 2024.
