The wait is almost over for fans of brutal action in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium. Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is set to charge onto the scene this September! Here’s a quick rundown on everything you need to know to prepare for battle.
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Release Date & Platforms
Mark your calendars: Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC starting September 9, 2024.
It’s important to note that this is a current-gen exclusive, so Xbox One players won’t be able to experience the game natively. Cloud gaming might be an alternative, but confirmation is needed.
Editions
The physical Collector’s Edition is your chance to truly experience the devotion of a Space Marine. Available exclusively on the Focus Entertainment store for $249.99 (USD), it boasts a treasure trove of goodies:
- Collector’s Case
- Physical game (console) or PC redemption code
- Lieutenant Titus resin statue (8.25″x6.7″) with interchangeable heads
- Steelbook case
- The Art and Making of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 hardcover book
- Macragge’s Chosen DLC (in-game skins for Boltgun, Chainsword, and Crux Terminatus Pauldron)
While the Collector’s Edition is ready for pre-order, standard and other potential editions haven’t been revealed yet. Stay vigilant, aspiring Space Marines – more details will emerge closer to launch.
Beta Cancelled for Polished Launch
Unfortunately, the open beta for Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 has been cancelled. The developers at Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment prioritized a smooth launch over a public test, ensuring a polished experience on September 9th.
While some fans might be bummed about missing out on an early taste of the game, a consolation prize awaits! Players who registered for the beta before June 28, 2024 will receive a special limited edition Porphyr Shield Bolt Pistol weapon skin for the full game.
What’s the Story?
It’s been 100 years since the first game, and Captain Titus, now voiced by Clive Standen (Vikings, Taken), is back! After facing heresy accusations and transformation into a stronger, faster Primaris Space Marine, Titus returns to his Ultramarines Chapter… with a demotion.
The galaxy is in chaos. The fortress world of Cadia is destroyed, a warp rift tears reality apart, and the Tyranids threaten humanity’s future. With Primarch Roboute Guilliman leading the charge, Lieutenant Titus, alongside his brothers Chairon and Gadriel, will fight the Tyranid swarms and Chaos forces in the name of the Emperor!
With its intense action, deep lore, and the promise of a satisfying power fantasy, Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the grim darkness of the far future. Stay tuned for further updates and prepare to purge the unclean!
