As the highly anticipated sequel Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 approaches its launch, excitement among fans of the series and its universe is really high. The game aims to introduce players to relentless, power-armored Space Marines and their heroic battles against the enemy forces.
With the game promising to expand on the universe’s thrilling experiences by taking inspiration from the original source materials (books), fans are also expecting new various things after the game is released. The single most resounding request from the fans is the addition of a Chaplain class post-launch as a DLC.
Players Want Space Marine 2 to Add Another Class As a DLC
For those who are not very familiar with Warhammer 40K lore, Chaplains are powerful figures within the Space Marine chapters. They are the keepers of the chapter’s spiritual well-being, boasting both as a warrior and masters of battlefield oratory.
Not only do they inspire their comrades in battle but they also have a great presence that can strike terror into their enemies. That is why fans are asking the developers to add a Chaplains Class in Space Marine 2.
Most believe that adding a new class with a DLC will not only improve and deepen the lore of the game but will also introduce a class that can buff their allies and even some capability of healing.
In various multiplayer modes, the addition of a Chaplain class could introduce a new dynamic to team compositions and strategies, enhancing the gameplay experience of the game. So recently when Developers showcased a new marine, players actively tried to get them to notice some of the suggestions for Space Marine 2 they had for the game post or pre-launch.

Players want new classes to diversify the gameplay in the future DLC.
Please for the love of the Emperor, make a Chaplain class DLC. The Chaplain could yell out litanies of battle giving allies a buff when their health runs out until they can recharge!! Imagine the customization!

While the fan demand for a Chaplain class as a Space Marine 2 DLC is strong, it’s essential for developers to balance this with other post-launch content and updates to keep the content fresh and diverse.
Does Chaplain DLC Make Sense for the Series?
Given the high support and clear interest from the Warhammer 40K community, a Chaplain DLC seems like a worthy investment for Saber Interactive. This idea not only aligns with the themes and lore of Space Marine 2 but also could potentially enrich the game’s experience for both new players and veterans alike.
Space Marine 2 Roadmap Includes Plenty of Content, but Warhammer 40K Fans Keep Focusing on One Thing
The Chaplains Class would be an addition to the game as it could bring a wide array of new abilities. This much diversity between classes will increase the gameplay experience and also allow players to try something new besides just slaughtering enemies.
As the release of the game draws near (September 9th), the fan’s expectations and speculations highlight how much players care and are interested in the Warhammer 40K universe. For the developers, responding to this demand can be a bit much but if they try to take some suggestions and implement it in the game, it will enhance the game’s appeal even more.
In the end, Players and fans can’t be more hyped about Space Marine 2, and if developers do listen to the fan’s outcry about adding a Chaplains Class in a DLC, they will be over the moon.
