My first foray into the Warhammer 40K gaming universe was a little game called Warhammer 40K Space Marines. It had the right blend of action, and storytelling, and the main character was a complete badass. Ever since then, I had prayed for a follow-up, and for a brief moment, there was hope as Space Marine 2 was announced.
Then THQ went bankrupt, sold off, and that was that. Then last year, Space Marines 2 resurfaced, and Focus Entertainment has been pumping information about the game into my brain. First with the reveal, then PAX East 2022, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Now, The Game Awards show revealed a new trailer showing off some Space Marine 2 gameplay, and I couldn’t contain my excitement. I mean, I had to, but it’s really hard to keep it in check.
According to the Steam page, The galaxy is in peril. Entire worlds are falling. The Imperium needs you.
Embody the superhuman skill and brutality of a Space Marine, the greatest of the Emperor’s warriors. Unleash deadly abilities and an arsenal of devastating weaponry to obliterate the relentless Tyranid hordes. Hold at bay the horrors of the galaxy in epic battles on far-flung planets. Uncover dark secrets and drive back the everlasting night to prove your ultimate loyalty to humanity.
Heed the call of battle.
For there is only war.
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 will be released in 2023, for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
