Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 will return players to the power-armored boots of Space Marine Lieutenant Titus as he dispenses ultra-violence in the name of the tyrannical Imperium of Man.
Following in the footsteps of the original game that was released in 2011, Space Marine 2 is a high-octane third-person shooter where traditional ideas of cover are swapped out in favor of bloody melee executions that restore your health. However, developer Saber Interactive isn't sitting on the laurels of the original. In our hands-on with the game, we found that Saber had added a refreshing new parry system, allowing Titus to block enemy attacks and skillfully riposte, tearing his foes apart with his chainsword or, on occasion, his bare fists.
The grim future of Warhammer 40,000 is an extremely violent place, and this is something that Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 aims to take to heart. With a dedication to gore worthy of some of the best FPS games, Titus and his squad have a brand new plant to cut their way through. What's more, Space Marine 2 boasts a co-op campaign mode, potentially putting it in the running for our list of the best co-op games.
Read on to find out everything we know about Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 including trailers, news, and our impressions of the game so far.
The latest Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 release date news that we have is that the game is set to come out «this winter» — this comes from the game's website. Given that we don't know what the developer and publisher mean by 'winter' and whether that means a period covering this year and early next, we can't even be certain about the 'year' the game will be released in. We'll keep an eye out for any updates on this and let you know more when it's confirmed.
The third-person shooter is due to come out on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, for those looking to get into the action sooner, there's a beta program with its own sign-up page.
The latest trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was revealed at the 2023 Focus Entertainment Showcase in August 2023. The trailer shows eight minutes from an early mission where Titus and his squadmates fight their way across a ruined city through hordes of aliens.
In addition to the Tyranid xenomorphs, the trailer also gave us a sneak preview of another enemy faction: the forces of Chaos. Though we don't yet know how these sinister cultists will feature in the game's story, the addition of these classic villains is a real treat for fans of the setting.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has enjoyed a selection of tantalizing trailers over the past few years, starting with a reveal trailerback in 2021. To keep up to date on all the latest previews, we advise keeping an eye on publisher

When looking at the breadth of war games out there, the ones that inspire players to buy, paint, and field massive armies in skirmishes with each other, few names loom quite so large as Warhammer 40,000. But with Rogue Trader, Owlcat Games is giving the 40K universe a slightly different treatment. And to me, they look like the right studio to do it.
RPG fans out there are really getting their fill this year, and it looks like 2023 might be going out with a bang. The release date trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has just dropped, and—barring any unexpected delays—we'll be getting our hands on Owlcat Games' latest RPG on December 7.
Owlcat Games’ Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader releases on December 7th worldwide. Along with PC and Mac via Steam and GOG, it’s also launching for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on the same day. Check out the release date trailer below for the latest gameplay.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC and Mac via Steam and GOG on December 7, developer Owlcat Games announced. The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Mac versions are newly confirmed.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the upcoming cRPG set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe developed by Owlcat Games, now has a release date, as revealed in the new trailer that you can watch above. That date is December 7, 2023. The trailer also reveals that the game is being released on more than just PC and Mac: it'll also hit the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S that same day.
Saber Interactive creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick has revealed that the studio has been taking inspiration from a Warhammer 40,000 fan-made series for its upcoming action game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. In an interview with IGN, Hollis-Leick talks about how the series, Astartes, was a big influence on the game.
Space Marine 2 does an impressive job representing the ‘stompiness’ of the Astartes in video game form. It turns out the developers used Warhammer 40,000’s greatest fan-film as a reference point.
Titus is back. The unyielding Ultramarine captain from the original Space Marine was a huge part of its success, and now, despite things looking less-than-positive for him at the end of the last game he’s returned. In the interim he’s clearly been through a few trials. He’s been demoted to lieutenant, he’s now a Primaris – an even bigger, stronger and taller breed of Space Marine – and he’s now well over 200 years old. He’s still, however, just as firm and fearless as before.
A whole host of new units, including Space Marine Warhammer 40K reinforcements and a new addition to the upcoming Old World game, have just been unveiled at the Nova Open event in Washington DC.
Focus Entertainment has shared extended gameplay footage — and by 'extended', I mean 'a combined 25-ish minutes worth' — of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and the Don't-Nod-developed Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden as part of a mini-showcase aired this evening.
Warhammer 40k fans are chomping at the bit for the next video game offering, Space Marine 2. After more than ten years since the first game launched, fans are eager to see more of the upcoming shooter title, and the game’s publisher Focus Entertainment knows it.
