Gameplay
The meat and potatoes of the Space Marine 2 experience are the co-op missions, which let you team up with up to three players to take out hordes of insectoids and other nasties. There is also a nine-to-ten-hour single-player campaign if you want to go solo, but you are going to need a few friends to get the most out of the experience.
An AI director will keep your team on its toes, dynamically adjusting the spawn rate of enemies and bosses based on how well you do. There are a variety of environments to explore, and the art does justice to its Warhammer 40,000 roots.
There is also PvP if you would rather butt heads against other teams. There are six classes to choose from, ranging from tactical to assault. The progression for co-op and PvP is separate, meaning you earn separate experience points and in-game currency for each mode.
Since its launch, the game has continued to receive a steady progression of updates and events, the latest being the “Anniversary Update” in September 2025.
Earlier this year, Saber Interactive gave the modding community full access to its in-house game editor for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, allowing them freedom to create new scenarios, scenes, game modes, the AI director, gameplay logic, and much more.
