Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 announced its two multiplayer modes and confirming the content of its four editions, which are now available for pre-order. Space Marine 2 is an upcoming third-person shooter hack-n-slash video game developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment launching on September 9th 2024.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Multiplayer Modes
Warhammer Skulls is an special event where all the news related to Warhammer 40K video games are presented, including new DLCs for Boltgun, Rogue Trader, or new game modes for Vermintide 2, among many other announcements.
One of the stars of the event has been Space Marines 2, the action game we were able to try out last year and which, after being delayed a few months ago, remains one of the highlights of the Warhammer 40,000 universe for this 2024. Specifically, it will arrive on September 9th.
And as leaked a few weeks ago by the official art book of the game, today it has been confirmed that Space Marines 2 will have two different multiplayer game modes, much to the delight of fans of the game. Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive confirmed it today during Warhammer Skulls, where they presented two trailers, one for each of the game modes, which will be of very different nature.
Let’s start with the “Operations” mode, which is a completely new cooperative mode, where we can kill xenos accompanied by up to 2 friends. In this mode, in the PvE or against “the environment” mode, players will be able to face the campaign as a team, allowing their friends to take on the role of the Ultramarines accompanying Titus. You can see a preview below these lines.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Showcases PVP Modes
The PvP game modes of the first Space Marine will also return, bringing back the iconic battles of the Space Marines against the Chaos Space Marines, with three types of 6v6 matches. These modes are Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture and Control. As in other action games with online mode, Space Marines 2 will have different character classes, such as the stealthy sniper (who can use his camouflage cloak), while the Bulwark tank can use a combat shield.
You can see some of these features in the first trailer just below these lines. Players will also be able to customize their Space Marines, from the helmet to the greaves, with a wide selection of colors, heraldic decals, gauntlets, and other options that will leave unique character designs.
The Season Pass will grant even more cosmetics, while new content, such as new missions, enemies, and weapons, will be available to all players through regular free updates.
