In a recent Steam Post, developer Saber Interactive outlined the rest of the content roadmap for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II and what players can look forward to this year. Upcoming content includes a new PvP map set in a closed environment with many narrow passages. It also includes custom PvP lobbies with Patch 7.0, Prestige Rank as part of season 3, new operations, enemies, new Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II customisation elements such as the Mark VI Corvus, the Salamander Champion, and more.
Additional details via the developer:
WHAT’S NEXT FOR 2025?
Fresh content for PVP
PVP Players – We have heard you, and we know you feel left out. We will have your back in 2025 with brand new and exciting content for the PvP. First thing we can tease you with is the new PvP map (it will be set in a closed environment with many narrow passages pushing you to engage more in Closed Quartered Battles).
Custom PvP lobbies will also be implemented in Patch 7.0: You will be able to play with modifiers and change the amount of players, up to 6v6 / You can change the timer limit for each match, the maximum limit score / you can have more than two players for each class (and have 6 snipers on your team if you want, even if it’s a questionable strategy!)
New PvE content
The hotly anticipated Horde Mode will arrive later in 2025. We’ll keep you updated once we get closer to it!
Prestige Rank will be introduced during season 3, allowing you to upgrade your classes even further.
On top of that, new Operations and new Enemies will come to expand the content of Space Marine 2. To spice things up, a new difficulty level with new rewards will also be added.
And our next Champion will be…
The Salamander Champion!! And he will be a sniper, available in PvE and PvP. Let’s explain our choice a bit:
His cape is very cool (super important).
An obvious choice for the Sniper Champion would have been to be a Raven Guard, but we have different plans for them.
Everyone loves Salamanders, us included, and we really wanted to give them a Champion. Heavy and Tactical would have been good candidates, but Heavy was already taken, and we have a different idea for Tactical.
Here’s a sneak peek: look at those flames.
Customisation
We’ll keep adding customisation elements (such as the Mark VI Corvus) throughout the year to represent more iconic Chapters of the Warhammer 40k universe.
Battle Barge Expansion
The Datavault will make its entry on the Battle Barge next year. It will consist of a new area with unlockable information on most elements enemies from the game. Unlock them with a special currency earned through in-game achievements. We’ll get back to you quickly in the beginning of 2025. Take a first look at it
WE’LL SEE YOU SOON, SPACE MARINES
2025 is near, whether or not you’re celebrating Christmas, we wish you a good end of 2024. Remember celebrating is cool, but protecting the Imperium is better. Don’t lose focus!
Happy new year gamers.
Cheers,
Focus & Saber
