Year 2 Content Confirmed for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 will be getting a second year of additional content
Saber Interactive has confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be receiving a major “large-scale update” this September. Furthermore, Space Marine 2 will be getting another year of free and paid DLC content as part of a new yearly season. Space Marine 2’s journey doesn’t end with year 1.
The game’s Year 2 content will be included with the game’s new Season Pass. Update 9.0 is due to be released this summer to bring new balance changes to the game. In September, Update 10 will arrive with a new PVP mode, a new weapon option, and a controllable Hellbrute.
Furthermore, a new Techmarine class will be added to Space Marine 2, adding more variety to the game’s PvE mission. Here’s everything that Saber Interactive had to say about Space Marine 2’s Year 2 Season.
As promised, we’re excited to share more details with you, and even more will be revealed in the upcoming Community Updates this July and August. For now, here are a few things we can confirm:
We’re happy to announce that a second year of both free and DLC content included in a new yearly season pass is on the way! This extended support to Space Marine 2 has been possible thanks to your unwavering support, so once again, thank you very much for being part of it! Expect new PvE missions, enemies, weapons, and… more. It’s too early to provide more info, but stay tuned!
Also, to celebrate the first anniversary of the game, a large-scale update is planned for September, the 10.0 major update. Update 9.0 will not bring new content, but only balancing changes.
Unfortunately, that also means that the new PvP mode we were planning to release alongside the 9.0 update will be postponed to this big 10.0 update as well. While we can’t show you how it looks, the least we can do is to reveal what this new mode will be about:
- This new mode will take place on a new map.
- It will oppose 2 sides, but it won’t be Loyalist VS Chaos like in regular PvP. Instead, Chaos will face… Chaos.
- Last but not least, you’ll be able to take control of the Helbrute. Yup.
As this new game mode is centered around Chaos, new Chaos armours will also be added to the game.
A new melee weapon will also be added as part of this big 10.0 Update: the Power Axe! It will have its own moveset, execution animations etc…
Finally, we announced a while ago that we are working on a new class for PvE and PvP. We’re now advanced enough in its development to announce that the new class will be a Techmarine! We’ll reveal more about this new class in the next community updates, so stay tuned!
Games Workshop has already confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 is in development. It promises to be an “even bigger and more spectacular game” than Space Marine 2.
