Today Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive premiered the new gameplay overview trailer for their hotly-anticipated third-person action game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Creative Director Oliver Hollis-Leick narrates this six-minute video that dives deeper into Space Marine 2’s main story campaign, multiplayer modes, and progression mechanics.
Players will continue the story of legendary Ultramarine Lieutenant Demetrian Titus a hundred years after the events of Space Marine and fight the endless Tyranid swarms to defend the Imperium. Unleash Titus’ superhuman skill and wide-ranging arsenal solo, or with up to two friends playing as Titus’ battle brothers Chairon and Gadriel in seamless drop-in/drop-out co-op.
Players who wish to play multiplayer can battle as one of six playable classes (Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, and Heavy) in “Operations” (PvE) and “Eternal War” (PvP) modes, and make them your own with Space Marine 2’s deep customization system for armor and weapons.
In “Operations” mode, use Armoury Data and experience earned on the battlefield to upgrade each class with up to 25 perks to shape your playstyle. Armoury Data will also let you level up your weapons with each new mission to unlock more powerful variants and unique cosmetics. The armor and weapon cosmetics earned in “Operations” will even be available for your “Eternal War” matches, though your perks and weapon upgrades will remain exclusive to the PvE experience for balancing purposes.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launches September 9th, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Pre-orders for the Standard, Gold, Ultra, or Collector’s Edition are available now!
