Warhammer 40000 Space Marine 2 - Salamander Champion

With Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 reaching the halfway point in its roadmap, Saber Interactive has outlined what to expect from the third-person shooter in the coming months.

Patch 7.0 is first up, adding a new PvP map featuring a “closed environment with many narrow passages” and custom lobbies. Players can adjust the number of players, time and score limits, and even add modifiers. You can also remove any class restrictions, meaning six of the same on a single team.

Horde Mode is set for later this year, with Saber promising more updates before its release. In the meantime, Season 3 will introduce Prestige Rank, new Operations and enemy types, and a new difficulty level with even more rewards. Furthermore, the next Champion for PvE and PvP will be The Salamander, who acts as a sniper.

Players can also look forward to other customization elements, including the Mark VI Corvus, to represent more “iconic Chapters” and the arrival of the Datavault in the Battle Barge. The Datavault will provide a new area where players can unlock additional information on enemies and other elements using a “special currency” earned from in-game achievements. More details will arrive at the beginning of the year, so stay tuned.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC – check out our review where we gave it a nine out of ten. It’s sold over five million copies since its launch.
