Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive today announced that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 has officially entered development. Its predecessor, which proved to be a runaway hit, will continue receiving “exciting content and regular updates in the coming years.”
As expected, Space Marine 3 aims to build on the foundation established by the second entry in the series, the publishers assuring fans that the brutal battles at the game’s center aren’t going anywhere.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 Enters Development
“Today, we are thrilled to announce that the adventure will continue with Space Marine 3,” said John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing.
“Players can look forward to an immersive campaign, a multiplayer mode, and innovations that will redefine the standards of third-person action games. Developed in close collaboration with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 will take the genre to new heights by introducing large-scale battles that are even more spectacular.”
Its predecessor was described as “a transformative game for Saber [Interactive]” by CEO Matthew Karch, who admitted that, as Space Marine 3 enters development, it “carries with it tremendous expectations from our rapidly expanding fanbase.
“While we will continue to support and grow the Space Marine 2 universe over the coming years, we will take all our learnings and apply them to an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment. We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe.”
No other details were shared at the moment, but we should hear more about Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 “at a later date.”
Given how the title is in the early stages of development we might have to wait a fair bit before learning more about where we’re headed and, more importantly, which enemies of the Imperium we’ll cull next.
In our review, we called Space Marine 2 “an old-fashioned triumph that eschews modern trends and vapid bloat in exchange for relentless, gory action and a fully-featured Warhammer 40K package that’s presented in gorgeous fashion” before awarding it a 9/10.
