Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 gets new Helldivers 2 style co-op mode

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is, indeed, only war. There's blood, there's guts, there's a whole lot of gore - and even more Tyranids where all of that came from. As Captain Titus, you're tasked with cutting a path through waves of Xenos in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2, but unlike its predecessor, you won't have to do so alone. That's right, Space Marine 2 has its own Helldivers 2 style co-op PvE mode, and we caught up with creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick to find out more.

"Pressure is non-stop" for Space Marine 2 after several 40k let-downs

The virtual world of Warhammer is in a bit of a weird way right now. With Darktide's reputation never fully recovering from its rocky launch, Rogue Trader being solid if unspectacular, and Realms of Ruin struggling both commercially and critically, Games Workshop's recent virtual endeavors - perhaps with the exception of Boltgun - haven't always lived up to expectations. Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2, however, is the release - the one every Heretic and Imperial loyalist alike is waiting for. As we draw ever closer to launch, I ask creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick if the team is feeling the pressure, and whether they're confident enough that Space Marine 2 will escape its beloved predecessor's shadow.

Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 dev confirms it has no microtransactions

Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 is shaping up to be something rather special. With ample scope and spectacle in its battles and multiple ways to play either alone or with friends, the combination third-person shooter and hack-and-slash action game is among the most exciting 40k games on our radar. In a new community update, developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment confirm "there aren't any microtransactions" or an in-game cash shop in Space Marine 2.

Space Marine 2 - May Community Update

[h2]Greetings Space Marines[/h2]

As the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 approaches, we will gradually share more information with you all. To do so, we’re excited to announce monthly Space Marine 2 community updates! At the end of each month, a community update will be published with new Space Marine 2 info or highlights from the past month. These updates will continue post-launch.

Let’s kick off our first update with the very best event of the year: the 2024 Warhammer Skulls Festival. Naturally, we took part in it to share a brand new Space Marine 2 trailer. Yes, we know, very unexpected. This trailer unveiled the PvE and PvP game modes in Space Marine 2, which are coming in addition to the campaign mode. In case you missed it, you can watch it here:

[h3]Space Marine 2 offers three game modes. Let’s break it down:[/h3]
  1. The campaign mode, in which you’ll embody Lieutenant Titus and his squad, playable solo or in co-op with up to 2 friends.
  2. The Operations mode, in which you’ll pick one of the 6 available classes and work in a team to defeat various xeno abominations. This PvE mode takes place parallel to the campaign and you’ll get to play as your own customised Space Marine.
  3. The Eternal War mode, in which Chaos and Imperium will clash Chainswords once again in intense 6v6 multiplayer battles.

In both PvE and PvP, 6 multiplayer classes with very different gameplay will be available. By playing them, you’ll be able to upgrade these classes with different perks and customise your armour with cosmetic elements.

We want Space Marine 2 to be an experience tailor-crafted for the players. Hence, we’re happy to confirm that there aren't any microtransactions in Space Marine 2. No in-game cash shop. All gameplay content and features will be free to all players. Any paid DLCs will be cosmetic only.


We know you want more details, and we have plenty to share! Here’s what you can expect in the coming months:
  • Many cool and diverse trailers featuring content we know you’ll like.
  • Dozens of short videos highlighting some of the game’s features such as weapon showcases, classes breakdowns, progression and customisation details, action clips, etc.
  • Lots of in-game screenshots. While developing Space Marine 2, one of our priorities has been to offer you a spectacular, over-the-top experience and we're excited to show you the game we've meticulously crafted.
  • New community updates at the end of each month.
  • … and more™️!

[h3]What’s going on right now?
[/h3]
We would also like to share more insight about where we’re at: as you can guess, the content of the game has been locked for a while now, and we’re in the final stages of the game production. Most of our efforts are currently focused on debugging and polishing to pass the final certification steps. We want to deliver the cleanest possible experience at launch, and the team is fully focused on it!

While you wait for the game to be released, feel free to join our Discord server to hang out with other Warhammer 40,000 fans, players, and the team. Please do share your gorgeous figurines there, too! We love to see them.

Before we conclude our very first community update, we want to thank you for your support. We hold Space Marine 2 very close to our hearts and seeing you all this excited motivates us even more to give you the best experience possible!

That’s it for today, see you next month. And don’t forget: for the Emperor!
