If you missed it, here’s the fantastic first look at multiplayer in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

Though it landed last week, the multiplayer modes of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 are worth taking another look at.

Purge the Xenos

If you’re a Warhammer 40K fan, there are probably few games that you might be looking forward too of the level of Space Marine 2. The followup to the original, Space Marine 2 once again follows Titus and the Ultramarines, this time setting them against a swarm of vicious Tyranids and other assorted nasties.

The sequel though, will also offer several multiplayer modes, and they’re looking sharp. Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive took the wraps off the fresh announcements at last week’s Warhammer Skulls Festival, which detailed both three player co-op and PvP action.

For those looking to extend the game’s action past the great-looking campaign, these should fit the bill.

Old and new fans alike are in for a multiplayer treat! In addition to bringing back Space Marine’s iconic battle against the Chaos Space Marines in three 6v6 PvP modes (Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture & Control), Space Marine 2 features an all-new co-op mode, letting you slay xenos with up to two friends in three-player “Operations Mode.” Each PvE and PvP mode lets players choose between six available classes, ranging from the unflinching Bulwark and his Combat Shield, to the stealthy Sniper with his Camo Cloak.

Players will also be able to customize their Space Marines, from helm to greaves, with a wide selection of colors, heraldry decals, pauldrons, gauntlets, and more! While new content like missions, enemies, and weapons will be available to all players through regular free updates, the Season Pass will grant even more cosmetics.
