Brimming with raw masculinity and testosterone at every turn, what Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have achieved with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is nothing short of impressive. Who would have thought that a niche action game would go on to achieve such popularity and success? To build on that success, the teams have now unveiled that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 is now in development.
“Today, we are thrilled to announce that the adventure will continue with Space Marine 3. Players can look forward to an immersive campaign, a multiplayer mode, and innovations that will redefine the standards of third-person action games,” said John Bert, deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, a subsidiary of the PULLUP Entertainment Group.
“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.”
“Space Marine 2 has proven to be a transformative game for Saber. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business. We are now starting to develop Space Marine 3, a game that 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,” added Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive.
While no details have been provided regarding how far along the development process is, the ambitions for this new entry are undeniably high. The game promises an immersive campaign mode, an expansive multiplayer experience, and several more innovations that are bound to excite. The close working relationship between Saber Interactive and Games Workshop have paid off previously, and it won’t be stretch to think that this next entry will be the same.
The announcement of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 does not mean an abrupt end to support for Space Marine 2. Saber Interactive has reassured fans that they will continue to support the game — which has already sold over six million copies — for years to come. This support aligns with their ambitious post-launch roadmap, which includes new content, such as Horde Mode and additional updates.
At this time, no details regarding the platforms or release window for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 have been revealed. Fans of the series will have to wait for further updates on what promises to be another thrilling entry in the franchise.
