With Space Marine 2 due to release in just under two months, the hype train continues to gain momentum. With a franchise as popular as Warhammer 40k, it’s no surprise that any new game would have a certain level of excitement and the upcoming title is certainly no different.
Developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, the game is due for release on 9 September and there are many fans who hope that the game will perform better than some of its predecessors. Darktide and Rogue Trader received generally mixed reviews, with the latter performing slightly better.
Space Marine 2 – Fan Reactions Prove the Hype is Building
With the launch a mere 41 days away and the game set in the 41st Century, it makes sense that publishers Focus Entertainment would continue to tease fans and it is the accompanying statement to their latest post – ‘There is Only War‘ which will excite fans further.

Some fans have also opted to pick up the collectors edition, which has some amazing additions in addition to the game itself. Whilst some may balk at the $250 pricing, there are those fans who will argue that it is well worth it.

Along with some hilarious gifs highlighting just how excited fans are for this title, there were obviously further questions about how quickly fans can get access to the game.
Despite the repeated requests for further information, it appears that devs are quite happy to drip-feed fans, however, this hasn’t dampened the spirits amongst many and it is hoped that when the game launches in September it will match and possibly exceed, the expectations.
Some Details Of The Game Have Still To Be Revealed
There is still much discussion amongst PC gamers about the specs and unfortunately, they are no further forward with information about whether their setups will be able to cope with the requirements needed to run this title.
Given how little time is left before launch, it is hoped by many that details will be more forthcoming in the next few weeks and this would then allow players to look at new graphics cards and processors, if indeed they haven’t already.
It’s clear that with how popular this franchise is, the expectation of the upcoming game is huge. Whilst the devs have been less than forthcoming with details, it hasn’t dampened the continued hype from fans who are hoping that this game will perform better than its predecessors.
