Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have released a six-minute gameplay overview trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II.

Get the latest details below.

Play as Lieutenant Titus and Fight the Tyranids in All-Out Galactic Warfare
Continue the story of legendary Ultramarine Lieutenant Demetrian Titus a hundred years after the events of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and fight the endless Tyranid swarms to defend the Imperium. Unleash Titus’ superhuman skill and wide-ranging arsenal solo, or with up to two friends playing as Titus’ battle-brothers Chairon and Gadriel in seamless drop-in/drop-out co-op.
Customize Your Space Marines and Loadouts in Player-Versus-Environment and Player-Versus-Player
Battle as one of six playable classes (Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, and Heavy) in “Operations” (player-versus-environment) and “Eternal War” (player-versus-player) modes, and make them your own with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II’s deep customization system for armor and weapons.

In “Operations” mode, use Armory Data and experience earned on the battlefield to upgrade each class with up to 25 perks to shape your playstyle. Armory Data will also let you level up your weapons with each new mission to unlock more powerful variants and unique cosmetics. The armor and weapon cosmetics earned in “Operations” will even be available for your “Eternal War” matches, though your perks and weapon upgrades will remain exclusive to the player-versus-environment experience for balancing purposes.
More Missions, Enemies, and Weapons Coming in Free Updates
Following the game’s launch on September 9, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II will add new “Operations” missions, player-versus-player maps, enemies and weapons to fight them with through regular free content updates for all players. Additional cosmetics and Chapter heraldry will release as part of the Season Pass, with no microtransactions or in-game cash shop involving premium currency.

[STARSBarry]

beat me to it ya bastard, but yeah I'm excited.

 

[Punished Miku]

Definitely getting this at some point.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Just posted this in an existing thread, sure looks good!
So, progression is shared between PvP and coop modes this time? I hated having to grind a mode I didn't like just to get almost necessary upgrades for Exterminatus...

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

This looks so fucking good

 

[Sleepwalker]

I will be there day 1. Too bad my friends have become gamepass goblins and wont play anything that's not on there.

 

[hinch7]

That Battle Barge hub looks awfully like the hub in Darktide.

Game looks great anyways, the isometric view looks pretty cool. Wonder if thats a specific mode.

 

[KyoZz]

Most likely day one for me

 

[Bartski]

looks absolutely great, wow. Day one 100%

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Very much looking forward to this one. It looks like all modes have been well thought out too. Probably day one for me.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Day one, currently playing Space Marine 1 for the first time on PC - still looks the goods!!

This seems to be beefed up in all the right places, and whoah at those MP modes, looks hella fun and deeper customisation than I thought it'd be: mean!!

 

[JTCx]

Looks too good to be true.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Looks like such a throwback complete co-op and multiplayer package with all the bells and whistles game modes.

If it is as good as it looks I really hope they are rewarded with a big hit.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm not watching or reading any more. I'm just getting it at launch.

 

[recursive]

Didn't see a shoulder switch. Did the first one have that?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Looks like PC version.

Ftfy.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Looks too good to be true.

That is my thinking, I'm so cynical these days lol.

It's looking like my dream 40k game, playing this alongside Rogue Trader with the Void DLC, Sept->Nov is pure living in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only War (and Heretical Chaotic antics).

 

[DenchDeckard]

Now, this looks like a proper game!

Please be good!

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Not watching anything until launch. The only concern I have about this game right now is PC performance.

 

[Pop]

Looks great

I'm in

 

[FunkMiller]

If this is good, it's going to do huge business. Lots of old school modes that have been dropped for battle royale/fortnite bullshit in other games.

 

[The_Observer]

Two words: EPIC and INSANE

Finally some old school shh with none of the modern bullshit that infests other games

 

[darth.shrimp]

The only concern I have about this game right now is PC performance.

Yeah that's what's bothering me as well.
I doubt the optimization can be worse than Darktide's though, so at the very least it should run somewhat well, I hope...

 

[MrRenegade]

Fuck them, where is the game? This is the 25th trailer, fuck needs another one.

 

[kingpotato]

Wish the pvp was more than 6v6, but it's looking like a decent follow-up to the previous Space Marine game. I pre-ordered already.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Day one.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm SO hyped on this, and it feels so good to be. Looks like one of the best 40K game we've ever gotten, if not THE best. Hyped SO much. Also gotta love games that sound like they're releasing with a good chunk of content, it feels so rare these days.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I mean, a man has a boner limit. This looks absolutley incredible.

 

[Stafford]

This looks damned good. If it looks close to this on consoles and in 60fps? I will be very happy.

That being said, it's good that one of the devs on Twitter clarified that campaign can be played in co-op too, because this trailer too in my opinion is a bit confusing on it. Or perhaps that's just me.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Yes.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Schmendrick]

Please don't suck

 

[Kacho]

Jesus Christ it looks so good. I can feel my balls getting hairier by the second.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Looks a lot better than that last trailer.

So much so, that I was on the fence, but now I'm back in.

Looking forward to it, my first Warhammer game.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Looking forward to it, my first Warhammer game.

You should get the first game too, it's still great, and a very good introduction to the universe! Currently at -70% on GOG, too.

 

[VeganElduderino]

looks fuckin good!

 

[Big Baller]

Day one

 

[Stafford]

Ah man, they should make the first one BC.

 

[Diddy X]

Looks very good.

 

[Balducci30]

Uhhhh yeah I’m getting this. Looks like GOTY material for me

 

[MujkicHaris]

That looks amazing, next-gen. So much detail.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Gears of Warhammer.

Looks great, though, interested in seeing the reviews.

 

[PeteBull]

Yups gives me those nice old gears vibes in warhammer setting, game gonna be lit, testosterone is pouring out of it in higher doses than from Abby =D

 

[Kssio_Aug]

 

[Apocryphon]

Day. Fucking. One.

 

[Neolombax]

Had no idea there was MP for this. Looks amazing, will most definitely get this. I enjoyed the first game immensely.

 

[Represent.]

Day 1. Finally some shit with some grit to it.

Looks like my GOTY

And, whats that? A REGULAR multiplayer mode? Not some GAAS trash? Just team deathmatch, and capture the flag?

DAY ONE

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Game looks way better than previous trailers. This is the type of combat I wish the Gears franchise evolved into. Looks like there is a lot more depth

 

[Rockman33]

Looks awesome.

really enjoyed world war Z.

 

[unlurkified]

All I can think of is that 100% it’s going to be downgraded to hell on console. Looks incredible if the actual game turns out this good.
