Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is still currently scheduled to release this year for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. I would call it a maturation of the original game." This version feels more real, harsher, bolder. "The first one with the Cockney Orks had more of a subtle cartoonish element to it, a comic book feel perhaps. So things like the ranged combat, the melee combat, the scale were all great, but we wanted to make it more raw, more violent, and with a kind of cold brutality." We've sort of grown, it matured, it expanded it. We looked at what made it great then, whether that would translate to a modern audience, a sort of process of maturity. "So we're very familiar with it, but going back to it with hindsight was an interesting process because games have changed quite a lot in the 12 years since that one came out. "We all played the first game, we'd all already played the first game when it came out," Hollis-Leick explained. The result is a game that's more mature according to Hollis-Leick, with less of a cartoonish vibe and more of a "cold brutality" that fits into the grimdark atmosphere of Warhammer 40,000. While Saber Interactive is adding several small details and touches to the worlds of Space Marine 2, the studio is also working on updating the experience of the 2011 game to be a better fit for modern audiences. There has to be an element of passion in there as well." And then what comes in between that because you can't just try and service people out of fear. We know the responsibility and we're taking it very, very seriously. There's a library at the office, they have tabletop games, and they have loads of books. And that is not something I just say for PR, that is before we even did this game. "Everybody on the team is a massive Warhammer 40,000 fan. "To be gifted with the opportunity to tell a new story in that world is an incredible privilege, but it comes with an enormous amount of responsibility," Hollis-Leick explained.
