Given the success that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has enjoyed, it didn’t come as a huge surprise when developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment announced earlier this month that they had started working on Space Marine 3. But though the first steps have been taken in Space Marine 3’s development, Saber isn’t quite done with Space Marine 2 just yet.
In a message published on the official Focus Entertainment forums, the publisher has offered assurances that work on Space Marine 2 post-launch content is “far” from over. More content for the third-person shooter continues to be in the works, with Saber and Focus looking to add new weapons, operations, a class, and more in the coming months, including “surprises even dataminers haven’t found out about.”
“Let us set the record straight: Space Marine 3 does not mean the end of Space Marine 2‘s development. Far from it,” Focus’ message reads. “No teams are shifting over, no one is abandoning the game, and our plans to bring more awesome content to Space Marine 2 remain. We are working on much more content and surprises for the months to come, such as a new class, more operations, melee weapons, and more! Trust us, there are surprises even dataminers haven’t found out about.
“This announcement simply marks the genesis of a new project, years away from release. We’ve made a decision and have just started the process.
Focus Entertainment says developer Saber has “just started the process” of working on Space Marine 3, a project that, according to the publisher, is still “years” away from completion- which means Space Marine 2 is in no immediate danger of being put on the backburner.
Space Marine 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Read our review of the game through here.
