Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Titus against the Tyranids

Developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched on 9 September 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store).

It also offers replayable co-op missions (Operations) and 6v6 player-versus-player matches.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (9/10) praises brutally satisfying third-person combat, solid tech, jaw-dropping enemy numbers and a complete package at launch, but finds the story tries to do too much and notes difficulty spikes and some slowdown. GamingBolt (9/10, PS5) calls it one of the best action games in recent memory, with a great blend of shooting and hack-and-slash, a meaty campaign and strong side modes, despite some technical issues in Operations. TheSixthAxis (9/10, PS5) sees it as the best rendition of the Warhammer 40,000 universe yet, with front-foot combat and stunning visuals, while finding the storytelling shallow.
