When discussing the most surprising hits of last year, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 certainly stands out as a delightful shock to fans and critics alike. Its overwhelming success caught the attention of Focus Entertainment, who swiftly announced the development of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3. So far, fans have been treated to a brief teaser, confirming the return of the beloved protagonist from the previous games, Demetrian Titus, in this eagerly awaited sequel.
Saber Interactive, the talented team behind the triumph of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is once again at the helm for the development of the third installment. While details about Space Marine 3 are being kept under wraps for now, fans can rest assured that more information will be shared at the appropriate time. In the meantime, Space Marine 2 will continue to receive robust support, with exciting additions such as new co-op missions and a horde mode slated for release this year.
In addition to the Space Marine series, Saber Interactive has an impressive lineup of projects in the pipeline. They recently unveiled plans for an action-packed game set within the fantasy realm of Dungeons & Dragons, which will incorporate a wave-based monster system reminiscent of Space Marine 2. Another exciting project on their roster is Turok: Origins, promising thrilling encounters with dinosaurs.
It's remarkable to consider that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was only released in September 2024, a mere six months ago. In this short span, the brutal action game has already captivated over five million players, a testament to its enduring appeal and the high expectations for Space Marine 3.
