Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have shared a new behind-the-scenes video detailing their approach to developing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 during 2022’s Warhammer Skulls showcase.
Announced last year, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 follows Captain Titus as he continues his duty to eliminate the Emperor’s enemies. Although the original game’s protagonist returns, he will be voiced by Clive Standen this time around.
The sequel seemingly trades Orks and Chaos for Tyranids, who were featured as part of the title’s reveal trailer.
“We didn’t just want to create any third-person shooter. We wanted to create a game that embodied the galactic warfare that you come to know from this franchise. It is a passion piece for all of the people working at Saber. These are people who’ve read the novels for years, who’ve played the games, so nobody has higher expectations than us,” Creative Director Oliver Hollis-Leick said.
“People who read the books will have expectations about how Space Marines fight, so that’s been our guiding principle behind the gameplay we’re creating.”
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s behind-the-scenes video didn’t feature any new snippets of gameplay, unfortunately, although we did get to see a few shots of some rather impressive environments.
The title still doesn’t have a release date but is confirmed to be in development for PC, Xbox Series X/S, as well as PS5.
