Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Has Gone Gold
The timeframe between the reveal ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, its delay, and the release date announcement may all be attributed to the development team’s ambitions. According to lead game designer Dmitry Grigorenko, the development team wantedWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2to be flawless, dubbing it “the perfect sequel.” To achieve this, they reintroduced the PvP mode to the game and added a large-scale co-op PvE mode called Operations.
According to the developers, Captain Titus alone couldn’t contain the galaxy-wide conflict against the Tyranids. For this reason, the Ultramarine needs the help of a squadron, and it was from this concept that the Operationsco-operative mode inWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2was born. To ensure dynamism among the three players involved in Operations, the number of classes has increased from three to six, but all have the potential for versatility and teamwork to be effective regardless of the situation.
