The addictive blend of gritty sci-fi and brutal action in the universe ofWarhammer 40,000is about to see a big expansion, asWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2011 game, has been confirmed for release this year.
Bringing with it a story and gameplay mechanics best described as a cross between “Helldivers 2andGod of War,” there’s much to be excited about forSpace Marine 2, and even renowned Hollywood actor andWarhammer 40Kfan Henry Cavillcould attest to that.
Henry Cavill Must Be Freeing Up His Schedule For September
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2has been confirmed for a September 2024 release by developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment. The game will be available across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with pre-order bonuses including an “Ultramarine Inspired skin set” featuring unique weapon and armor customizations.

While the release date is a welcome announcement,gameplay detailshave been tightly guarded so far. However, based on the four trailers released to date, some key information can be gleaned. The trailers showcase the game’s atmosphere and characters, hinting at a return to the kinetic, violent combat that defined the first game.
Players will once again take control of Lt. Titus, a genetically enhanced Space Marine of the Ultramarines Chapter. This time, however, Titus faces a new threat – the Tyrannids, a ravenous race of insectoid aliens with a hunger for galactic domination. It may soundsuspiciously similar to a certainHelldivers 2enemy faction, but we can confirm there’s no foul play here.
Space Marine 2Will Continue The Story Of The First Game
The trailers also reveal some of the weapons at Titus’ disposal. Players can expect a familiar arsenal, including the iconic bolter rifle, the versatile plasma gun, and the devastating power sword.

Close-quarters combat also appears to have been given a greater emphasis, with the trailers showing Titus unleashing the fury of his chainsword upon the Tyrannid hordes.
As far as the story goes, there isn’t much to go on either, but the trailers suggest thatSpace Marine 2will pick up after the events of the first game. Titus, now sporting a new suit of Mark X Power Armor, appears to be grappling with the aftermath of past accusations of dissent by Inquisitor Thrax.
It’s also evident that Titus has undergone the Rubicon Primaris, a surgery that enhances a Space Marine’s physical capabilities, due to him being faster, more muscular, and potential weapon on the battlefield. It all sounds amazing, and come May 23,Saber will talk more about the gameat the Warhammer Skulls event.
