Space Marine 2 Getting Free New Content This December

Dark Angels have been rumored to make their way into Space Marine 2 since the game was released. In the lore of Warhammer 40,000, The Dark Angels were the first of the Emperor’s Space Marine Legions and are considered among the most powerful of the various marine chapters. This specific chapter of Space Marine is recognized by its distinct army shade of green as well as off-white robes. Saber Interactive also confirmed that the team is working on tweaking blocking weapons, which some players have claimed feel “unsatisfying” to use and play with.

Developers also acknowledged reaching 4.5 million players in the update, an impressive feat for a game that some had been cautiously optimistic about. The original Space Marine video game from 2011 certainly impressed, though the sheer level of success its sequel has seen is nothing short of extraordinary. As stated earlier, there is still plenty to look forward to as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 continues to grow and evolve, with 2025 undoubtedly set to see a lot of new content make its way into the game.
