Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 I just got a new trailer for the game ahead of the game's release later this year.
First announced in 2021, the upcoming hack-n-slash third-person shooter has been a long time coming, following its most recent delay.
But with just a couple of months left until the game's release, today (June 20), Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive were able to share an in-depth look at the next installment of the warhammer 40,000 franchise.
The six-minute gameplay trailer was narrated by creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick and delved into Space MarineThe story campaign, its cooperative multiplayer modes and its progression systems.
The game takes place a century after the events of the first game and will put players in the shoes of Ultramarines Lieutenant Demetrian Titus, a genetically enhanced super soldier, who has been demoted and forced to prove his loyalty.
They gave us plenty of action-packed games, and according to Hollis-Leick, the development team has used something called “swarming technology,” which allows you to have hundreds of enemies on the screen at the same time. We also take a look at the melee finisher, which, when executed correctly, will replenish the player's armor and keep them in the fight longer.
There is also a headquarters that acts as a hub that players can return to between missions. There you can interact with the staff, select your next mission and also customize your equipment.
In addition to the campaign, players can jump into Operations, a PvE mode focused on replayability and cooperation.
In this mode, you can use armory data and experience gained on the battlefield to upgrade each class with up to 25 perks that will shape your playstyle. Armory Data will also allow you to level up your weapons with each new mission to unlock more powerful variants and unique cosmetics.
There's also a 6v6 PvP mode called Eternal War, with three match types to choose from, including Deathmatch, Sieze Ground, and Capture and Control.
In both Operations and Eternal War, you can choose from six playable classes: Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper and Heavy, each with their own unique equipment and weapons.
Saber Interactive has also confirmed that Space Sailor 2 will receive new ops missions, PvP maps, new enemies and new weapons after launch in “regular free updates.”
Additionally, additional cosmetics and Chapter heraldry will be released as part of the Season Pass, with no microtransactions or in-game cash purchases involving premium currency.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 is a third-person shooter and a sequel to the 2011 game and is expected to release on September 9 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
