Some players are complaining that this title may not allow playing unless the user is connected to the internet, even if they only want to play in single-player mode. This was posted by a user on Reddit, and it seems many players would not agree with this as it is unjustified.

In September, Saber Interactive will finally release Space Marine 2, a highly anticipated third-person action title filled with violence. The player will be a super soldier destined to cleanse the galaxy of anything that threatens the empire, including the fearsome giant insects known as Tyranids. Furthermore, they will have to face the forces of chaos, who have much more ambitious plans for the galaxy.

Unfortunately, some players might be disappointed because it seems this title will require players to always be online to enjoy any of the modes.

A Reddit user clarified this, stating that he would return the title if it were true, as he anticipated being able to play in single-player mode without an internet connection. For now, this has not been confirmed by the studio, but it will probably end up being true.

The user posted this specific complaint in the game’s subreddit, prompting a moderator to address the user’s uncertainty. According to the moderator, the studio suggests that players can play in single-player mode without an internet connection. However, current titles practically invalidate this type of complaint, as average players play most games online without realizing it.

Despite these complaints, the studio is likely to consider the community’s preferences and enable offline play for certain modes. This title is one of the most anticipated by fans of this franchise, as it will offer a totally immersive experience in which the player can use this super soldier and truly feel all of its power by using the astonishing arsenal and abilities that this soldier has, including the famous chainsword.

Space Marine 2 will arrive on September 9 for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. Players will have plenty of content to explore, from a complete story mode to a multiplayer PvP mode and a special cooperative PvE mode. All of this will be included in this anticipated title, which promises to deliver the ultimate experience of being a space marine in this war-torn and conflict-filled universe.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
