Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 is a new third-person shooter hack-n-slash game developed by Saber Interactive, which will be released by Focus Entertainment on September 9, 2024. It is the much-awaited sequel to the 2011-released Warhammer 40000: Space Marine. This new game will once again follow the Ultramarines Chapter Captain Demetrian Titus. He would be facing alien threats like Tyranids and the forces of Chaos.
Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 Gameplay
Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 being a hack-n-slash game would heavily rely on melee combat, but would also mix it with ranged attacks. The game would have players use more ranged attacks against weaker enemies like Tyranid gaunts. However, players would rely more on hack-n-slash attacks when fighting tougher enemies like Tyranid warriors as they can block ranged projectile attacks.
Captain Titus would be accompanied by Space Marines Chairon and Gadriel through the game. These secondary characters could be controlled by other players when played in multiplayer but would be controlled by AI when playing a single-player campaign. There would be other AI-controlled in-game characters like the imperial guard foot soldiers who will fight alongside Titus.
Aside from other players controlling Chairon and Gadriel, Space Marine 2 would feature other multiplayers modes like cooperative Operations and three 6v6 competitive modes: Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture and Control. Players can select their in-game characters from six available classes and later customize them with various cosmetics.
In Warhammer: Space Marine 2, Titus would be wearing armor to prevent health loss, but will permanently lose health when the armor breaks. The health can be regenerated using medkits found on the battlefields. Even the armor can be regenerated when Titus performs an execution attack on enemies. Once the health is depleted, the protagonist will fall to the ground and will bleed for 30 seconds. The fallen Ultramarines Chapter Captain can be revived by other characters when he bleeds.
