Approximately one trillion Warhammer games have come out since the 2011 release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, but despite the cult popularity of the third-person action-shooter, and its cliffhanger ending, there was no Space Marine 2. That will finally change next year, and at The Game Awards we finally saw what the long-awaited sequel’s gameplay will look like.
As PC Gamer brand director Tim Clark put it in our work chat: “goty confirmed.”
OK, OK, we won’t really commit to calling Space Marine 2 our 2023 GOTY until we’ve actually played the thing, but our typical cautions against pre-release hype are hard to make in good faith when a trailer looks this good, at least if you’re a stompy space marines and Imperial Gothic architecture.
