Following its last community event for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, developer Saber Interactive has addressed concerns about the “fear of missing out” or FOMO. It confirmed that cosmetics obtained from these events will be obtainable later “for everyone.”
“We saw that many of you mentioned FOMO generated by the events. Rest assured, we are not looking to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live-service game. The items available through events WILL be available later, for everyone.” It noted that community events are meant for the “most dedicated players” to unlock the items early “and not to be a source of frustration and stress for everyone.” The team is currently busy creating a simplified process to unlock them.
Despite not going the live-service route, the next free content update contains substantial new content. A new PvE weapon, Operation, private PvP lobbies, a rework to class loadouts, more rebalanced Perks are on the way and PvE Prestige Ranks. The latter allows unlocking a new Prestige Perk by hitting level 25 on a class and a unique cosmetic.
Saber Interactive also confirmed that Horde Mode is one of its “top priorities” and though it couldn’t offer more details, it’s confirmed to be “very different” from the first Space Marine.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s sold over six million copies since launching last September. Check out our review.
