Demos, or betas, are usually initiatives that help get to know the games before launch. Saber Interactive has confirmed the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 beta cancellation. This has been justified by the need to prioritize optimization tasks. However, it has also given interesting information, which many want to know, and that is that the Space Marine 2 campaign length will be approximately 12 hours.
All this information comes as part of a publication on the Steam product page, in which they have updated the information on the development status to mark the steps they have to take in what remains of time. ahead of the September launch. They have accompanied this publication with the video describing the development that we brought you the other day.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 beta cancellation confirmed due to focus on optimizing the game
Before addressing the issue of the beta, action and Warhammer 40K lovers have a very interesting proposal for this year in Space Marine 2. And as they have confirmed, the campaign will last approximately 12 hours. A campaign in which Lieutenant Titus plays just after the events of the first game. Alongside Chairon and Gadriel, he will fight the Tyranid and Chaos swarms, and advance that plot to stop their advance. To that, other game modes are added, such as Operations, which encompasses the cooperative PvE mode.
This mode is practically endless, as its replayability is guaranteed. It is still a constant battle against the Tyranids in up to 6 maps to defend the empire. And finally, there is the Eternal War mode, dedicated to PvP, where two teams of 6 can face each other in up to 3 game modes. The Annihilation mode like the classic Deathmatch, Seize Ground, which is a domination mode and a Capture and Control mode like King of the Hill. Classic formulas that are sure to give many hours of gameplay to Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. All these formulas, a priori, will be accompanied by an experience that renounces the presence of micropayments.
But, speaking of multiplayer, the beta that was going to give us that first contact with the game does not seem like it will be possible. The cancellation of the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 beta has been confirmed due to the need to prioritize game optimization work. And the thing is, we have seen several gameplays of this game and in all of them the explosion of action has been as overwhelming as it is spectacular. They will have to ensure that all that magnificence is not disrupted by unstable performance.
Space Marine 2 is almost ready. We are now fully focused on optimizing, polishing and fixing any remaining issues before launch on September 9th. This means we will not be running an online public beta as it would prevent the development teams from preparing for the full release, and our priority is to ensure the best possible experience at launch.
As always, these decisions are questionable due to the need to test that multiplayer mode that seems to have gained a lot of weight within the proposal. Although optimization is something that is getting worse and worse, and they seem involved in ensuring that there are no problems, they must be very confident that the multiplayer mode will not come out with defects that could limit the gaming experience. Although it is true that these multiplayer functions usually require constant updates, especially if they plan to provide post-launch support.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is scheduled to launch on September 9 on both Xbox Series X|S consolesPlaystation 5 and PC.
