The galaxy is in peril. Entire worlds are falling. The Imperium needs you.

Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive premiered a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, revealing a whole new PvE experience and the return of the beloved PvP mode from the first game.

A brand-new 3-player co-op mode and the return of PvP

Old and new fans are in for a multiplayer treat! In addition to bringing back Space Marine’s iconic battle against the Chaos Space Marines in three 6v6 PvP modes (Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture & Control), Space Marine 2 features an all-new co-op mode, letting you slay xenos with up to 2 friends in 3-player “Operations Mode.” Each PvE and PvP mode lets players choose between 6 available classes, ranging from the unflinching Bulwark and his Combat Shield to the stealthy Sniper and his Camo Cloak.

Players will also be able to customise their Space Marines, from helm to greaves, with a wide selection of colours, heraldry decals, pauldrons, gauntlets, and more! The Season Pass will grant them even more cosmetics, while new content like missions, enemies, and weapons will be available to all players through regular free updates.

PVP mode will feature up to 6v6-player action, and you can play as Chaos Space Marines or the Adeptus Astartes across six modes, including Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture & Control. A Cooperative PVE mode allows players to work in teams of up to three Space Marines.

Players choose one of six classes, ranging from the unflinching Bulwark with a Storm Combat Shield to the stealthy Sniper and his Camo Cloak. To top that off, players will get to customise their Space Marines with a huge selection of gear, heraldry and colours.
