 A Galactic Milestone Worth Celebrating 

Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive are charging into Year 2 of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 with a thunderous Anniversary Update dropping September 4, 2025.

Throughout Year 2, Season Pass II will deliver nine DLCs featuring iconic Space Marine Chapters like the Blood Angels, Salamanders, Raptors, Iron Hands, and Carcharodons. Expect new Champion skins, armor pieces, and heraldry that let you fight in style.

Personal Experience with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

I played the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine extensively, enjoying the main campaign’s rewarding journey of mowing down aliens with both ranged and melee weaponry... from beginning to end. The PvP multiplayer was okay, but the main campaign was my favorite. It’s been over a decade since the first installment, and I’m excited to dive into this long-awaited sequel. (Time has flown by.)
