Success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 'Changes Everything,' Dev Says — and Yes, There Are Ideas for Space Marine 3 - IGN

The success of breakout hit Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 ‘changes everything’ for developer Saber Interactive, it’s said. Here's what it means for story DLC and even Space Marine 3.

www.ign.com

In practical terms, the success of Space Marine 2 means Saber staff can now "dream bigger," Willits said. Saber will make good on its original post-launch plan, which involves new missions, modes, maps, enemies, and weapons, but it will also make "adjustments" fueled by Space Marine 2's now confirmed success — once the dust settles.


"Our game director Dmitry Grigorenko, he has proposed some story ideas that could either be DLC or a sequel," Willits said. "We're literally just catching our breath. This is two weeks out. We just need to get the dust to settle. But I can confidently say that we will not disappoint our Warhammer fans in the future. It's too big of a success! I know that's an obvious thing to say, but hopefully we'll be working on Space Marine content for a long time."


For Space Marine 3, Willits said, Saber would need to work with publisher Focus as well as Games Workshop once again. "We just have to figure it out. I would love to do it, yes," he continued. "Yes, yes, yes! There's so many different factions... there are other chapters, too, that are interesting..."

They should focus on fixing the server issues in Space Marine 2 before anything else. That maintenance the other day did nothing.

 

[struggler_guts]

So glad they recognize the success and are gonnah capitalize on it, all my friends that haven't got it yet are just waiting for more content

Ugh... so bloated, open world Space Marine 3 delayed into 2030, only sells 10 million copies and bankrupts the publisher.

 

[Skifi28]

I've only played the prologue so far, but wow.

If I remember correctly, they're also working on new Painkiller game as well

 

[Represent.]

Amazing

 

[Valt7786]

Sisters of Battle playable faction/story expansion please and thank you!

Or they could bring in some other xenos and draw from more of the 40k universe as a whole.

Fuck. Yes.

People should check out WWZ. They've been pretty good for a little while now.

 

[Interfectum]

I like your version of the future better.

 

[Kacho]

People should check out WWZ. They've been pretty good for a little while now.

Isn't that the game that uses the same swarm tech used in Space Marine?

 

[Warspite]

One of those hidden gens I found on gamepass, you can see the DNA from it in Space Marine 2.

Maybe Necrons for the 3rd game, cause you can have characters with the Necrons it would save then bringing Chaos back again.

 

[Punished Miku]

Isn't that the game that uses the same swarm tech used in Space Marine?

Yeah, SM2 is a pretty logical next step from WWZ. It's a fun co-op shooter. You can pick it up pretty cheap. I tried it on GP.

[Kacho]

Look at that setup. Absolutely haram. He really is one of us.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I hope Space Marines 2 gets a PS5 PRO patch.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Me too, waiting for the PS5 Pro to properly enjoy this one! It looks worth the wait...

[Ridicululzz]

Is the game pretty self contained or should I play Space Marine 1?

 

[R6Rider]

You don't have to play SM1, but should because it's a fun game.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Blood Angels when?

Never, too vanilla.

Grey Knights purging.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Black templars next!

 

[T4keD0wN]

Is the game pretty self contained or should I play Space Marine 1?

Definitely play the first one if you want to understand the start and the ending.

To top it off, I love the sneaky placed "The Horus Heresy" Book.
Truly a man of culture.

 

[Ammogeddon]

S for Seal of approval

Horus Heresy Easter egg right there, or just bait.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Hope the 3rd one is longer. 2 is great but too short.

Also would like a remaster of 1.

 

[Holammer]

First game still holds up.

 

[gatti-man]

Fixed all issues for me. Now when I have a 2man group I get a third. That was a major issue. No more drops either.

 

[GymWolf]

Next time bring the orks back or chose a less shitty, charismaless enemy to fight, please and thank you.

Success brings attention which brings new capital which comes along with strings attached such as DEI requirements.

Just take games as they come the days of being hyped for upcoming games are truly over.

Yes! Especially hyped for the KOTOR remake now.

 

[Liljagare]

Bring on the Dreadnought mode and, Space Hulk bonanza would probarly work well in this engine.. Terminators and 'stealers!!!

 

[The_Observer]

Awesome

 

[Fake]

Glad to be part of this.

 

[Pop]

I'm all in. Give me more Warhammer games

Especially an MMO

 

[N0S]

First game still holds up.

I played it on my Sream Deck Oled for the first time. Runs flawless

 

[FunkMiller]

Heresy set game, please. Or at least DLC. Loken level as Cerberus.

Or just an entire Garro game.

Or in 40k a Ragnar game.

Or do Eisenhorn justice.

So many options…

 

[Holammer]

Heresy set game, please. Or at least DLC. Loken level as Cerberus.

Or just an entire Garro game.

yes/no, the casual general audience still haven't wrapped their brain around 40k and there are still plenty of stories, factions and concepts to cover.

 

[lmimmfn]

I just bought this to support anti woke, on my backlog but will get to it soon.

Enjoy, Brother!

It's a pretty great game.

 

[Radical_3d]

Blood Angels when?

Never! You barely loyal mutant! Black Templars all the way!

Ha didn't the joke at first until I noticed what was on the bed.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Space Marine 2 is easily the GOTY and I hope they use the same engine so that way they could reuse a lot of assets and add more races. I'm hoping for Necron and Slannesh Daemon for Space Marine 3, maybe even have the Tyranids be a side enemy so there's 3 enemy factions.
