Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Set for Major Update This Month
Fans of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 have something exciting to look forward to later this month. Developer Saber Interactive has teased a significant update for the game, building on its already impressive success. With the game’s recent rise as one of the most popular Warhammer 40,000 titles, the developer is dedicated to delivering regular updates and new content.
Just a week ago, the third major update introduced improvements to online multiplayer and adjustments to PVP and PVE gameplay. However, Saber Interactive is far from done. In a new post on the Space Marine 2 website and Steam page, the studio revealed that October 2024 will bring more exciting additions. Among these is a new map for the cooperative Operations mode, where players team up as Space Marines to battle hordes of enemies.
The new map is set on the forested planet of Kadaku, which is almost entirely overrun by the Tyranid swarm. Players will be tasked with aiding the Astra Militarum forces still fighting on the planet, making the Tyranid’s victory as costly as possible. A preview image showcases Kadaku’s eerie landscape, with corrupted forests and Tyranid structures looming in the distance.
Alongside the new map, PC players with high-end systems can expect a free 4K texture pack, while the update will also bring hotfixes, enhanced armor customization options, and new color choices for helmet lenses. Additionally, Saber Interactive’s roadmap hints at further updates, including a new “Lethal” difficulty level, a Neo-Volkite Pistol weapon, and a new enemy. While the exact release dates for these features are not yet confirmed, they are expected to roll out soon.
With regular updates and continuous support, Space Marine 2 is set to solidify its place as a standout Warhammer 40,000 game and a major player in the online action genre.
