Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is about to be released very soon (September 9th) and the player’s excitement is through the roof. The game is looking to immerse players with its gritty-looking sci-fi setting full of epic wars within the world of Warhammer 40K.
The community has been speculating about the upcoming titles as they fear that the game will simply fall into Space Marine‘s pitfall and provide repetitive content. However, the Creative Director of Space Marine 2 made things clear and even hinted that they are trying to bring more than what players are asking for.
Saber Interactive Sets High Expectations for Space Marine 2
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is being developed by Saber Interactive. With this huge title, the developers have a huge space to fill, as they not only have to pay homage to the Warhammer universe but also don’t make the same mistakes that the original Space Marine did.
It seems like Saber Interactive also knows these pitfalls and the expectations players have on them. In a recent video, Creative Director Oliver Hollis-Leick and his team explained various behind-the-scenes development processes and their passion for the Warhammer universe for a long time. He said:
We wanted action in the sky, on the land. We wanted flames. We wanted Explosions. It is a passion piece for all of the people working at Saber. No matter what the fans are asking for. Trust me, we are asking for even more.
This shows that the people at Saber Interactive adore and care about the Warhammer universe and have set their own expectations higher than those of fans. With a storyline inspired by novels like Know No Fear and character customization based on real-world toys, which can be colored by fans however they want to. They are leaving no stone unturned.
This highlights their passion and dedication to the franchise, as they want to provide players with a Warhammer 40K game as authentic and exciting as possible. They are providing players with 3 different modes: a co-op campaign mode, a PvE mode with a progression system, and a PvP mode where players will be put against each other.
Fan and Studio Passion for the Warhammer Universe
With the announcement and showcase like this, the whole community is buzzing with excitement over the various details shown off. Players’ expectations are super high and they can’t wait to get their hands on the game. However, it seems like people working at Saber Interactive have a much higher expectation for the game than fans themselves.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is going to be released on September 9th, and given how the creative director and lead writer were explaining the in-game details, it looks like they are ready to leave a long-lasting mark on the franchise.
In the end, players have to hope and see if the developers are able to stand up to their words and showcase a Warhammer world like never before.
