Titus isn’t hanging up his chainsword just yet, as the saga continues with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 now officially in the works. This exciting news comes from a trio of gaming giants: publisher Focus Entertainment, developer Saber Interactive, and Games Workshop, the mastermind behind the Warhammer universe. They shared the thrilling update on Thursday, revealing that a follow-up to the 2024 sensation, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is set to happen.
Matthew Karch, the enthusiastic CEO of Saber Interactive, shares, “Space Marine 2 has truly been a game-changer for us. It’s the pinnacle of all we’ve learned in our 25 years of crafting games. We’re diving into Space Marine 3 with high hopes from our ever-growing community.” He adds that while they’ll keep expanding Space Marine 2’s universe, the lessons learned will fuel an even more ambitious third chapter, which he describes as a heartfelt tribute to the Warhammer 40,000 world.
Meanwhile, John Bert, the Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment, promises that the upcoming installment won’t just rely on a compelling campaign and multiplayer. It’s also set to unleash even grander large-scale battles that’ll leave players in awe.
The teaser for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 hints at the return of the iconic Ultramarine, Titus. Once again, he’s ready to charge into the menacing darkness of the far-flung future.
### Anticipation Builds for Space Marine 3
Space Marine 3 might be a distant reality, but the buzz is tangible. The announcement video on YouTube fuels the excitement, with visuals that set imaginations racing.
Space Marine 2 already boasts an impressive player base, having reached over 6 million by January this year. With ongoing support not showing signs of slowing, those numbers are poised to grow as the year unfolds.
Though Space Marine 3 is officially on the horizon, any further updates might take some time. Currently, Saber Interactive is focused on enhancing Space Marine 2, with plans to roll out new features like a Horde mode among other updates throughout the year.
A hint at what the future may hold came when Saber Interactive’s chief creative officer, Tim Willits, suggested more content on the horizon, possibly linking Space Marine 2’s narrative to its successor.
For those yet to dive in, Space Marine 2 is a must-play. In my review, I noted how “Warhammer 40,000 fans will revel in the intricate details, but anyone eager to hack and slash through relentless alien hordes will find immense joy, especially in co-op play.”
Unanimously, the Windows Central team crowned Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 as the Best Xbox Game in their 2024 awards, a testament to its standout appeal.
Players can jump into Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 right now on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (via Steam), and PlayStation 5.
