When Relic Entertainment dropped Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine back in 2011, it quickly carved out a niche as one of those solid, under-the-radar action games of the sixth-gen era. Sure, it wasn't the most mind-blowing title on the shelf—more of a straightforward, linear hack-and-slash—but that didn't stop it from being a perfect gateway drug into the chaotic, sprawling universe of Warhammer 40K. Over the years, Space Marine developed a cult following, particularly among 40K fans hungry for more video game adaptations of their favorite universe.
For more than a decade, players clamored for a follow-up. With so much potential left on the table, the question lingered: why hasn't this game gotten the sequel it so clearly deserves? Now, Saber Interactive has answered that call with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2—a sequel that aims to be bigger, bolder, and more bombastic than its predecessor. Space Marine 2 retains the blood-soaked, brutal gameplay of the original, but with a much stronger emphasis on cooperative play, allowing players to team up with friends and tackle massive swarms of enemies together.
The result? A slicker, more polished experience that fully embraces the scale and chaos of the Warhammer 40K universe, bringing the series to new heights while building on the foundation of what made the original special.
