Space Marine 2 looks like a good co-op shooter – even if you’re not a Warhammer fan

Space Marine 2 is a new shooter in the Warhammer universe that might not only be of interest to Warhammer fans.

What kind of game is this? Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is an upcoming third-person shooter for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series set in the dark Warhammer universe. It will be the sequel to the first part, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, released in 2011.

  • Space Marine 2 turns you into one of the legendary Space Marines who, uninhibited and with superhuman abilities, destroy the alien Tyranids in swarms
  • Space Marine 2 will be the first shooter in the Warhammer universe in over 10 years that lets you play as Space Marines. Games like Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and its predecessors have shooter gameplay, but no Space Marines.
  • The release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is scheduled for September 9, 2024.

    • Space Marines 2 will feature a co-op campaign, 6v6 multiplayer, and the PvE mode “Operations.”

    In co-op against aliens

    What does the new trailer show? On May 23, a new trailer for Space Marines 2 was released that will be of interest to both Warhammer fans and newcomers to the franchise. The title looks like an interesting co-op shooter – even if you haven’t been a fan of the franchise before.

    The trailer gives us new insights into the Operations mode, which can be played cooperatively with up to three players. We see a group of Space Marines fighting together against alien hordes.

    Space Marines 2 then shows us some gameplay of the six classes available in the game. In addition to shooter action, we see Tyranids being put in their place with a kick in the face, a hammer or a sword. We also get a glimpse of the various ways to customize your own Space Marine visually.

    Overall, Space Marines 2 looks like a shooter in the trailer, where you can have fun with your friends and kill aliens together. As we know, the recipe already worked in Helldivers 2.

    Do Space Marines 2 and Helldivers 2 have anything in common? Yes, Helldivers 2 is characterized by the fact that you can have fun with your friends in a casual shooter action – without any competitive thoughts or the pressure to always do your best. You start a mission and shoot bugs or robots.

    Space Marines 2 conveys a similar feeling in the new trailer. We see three Space Marines fighting their way through aliens with different weapons. It seems chaotic and brutal – like Helldivers.

    Fighting alien hordes is of course not a concept that Helldivers 2 introduced. But Arrowhead’s co-op shooter implemented it really well. If Space Marines 2 offers a similar gaming experience, we can look forward to an interesting shooter.

    While Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 looks like a pretty interesting co-op shooter, other games in the Warhammer universe don’t fare as well – even though the franchise is very popular.

    Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a real-time strategy game, was released in November 2023, but sales fell far short of expectations. This meant problems for the British developer studio Frontier Development: A new Warhammer game is sold for €60 on Steam: It flops so badly that the developer gets into trouble
