At Saber Interactive, they can celebrate. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 has the second best start of the new releases that came out in Europe this year. The brutal shooter is just behind Helldivers 2. In the meantime, the developers are promising fixes and thanking the community.
The success of the title was revealed by GamesIndustry's Christopher Dring on X. Space Marine 2 beat titles like Dragon's Dogma 2, Star Wars Outlaws, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Tekken 8, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, F1 24 or WWE 2K24.
Where is Palworld and Wukong, you ask? These companies are not tracked by the research firm. It basically targets all AAA game publishers.
We know from Focus Entertainment that the game has crossed two million players across all platforms. Meanwhile, the developers promise not only new content, but also fixes and improvements to the original game. The highest priority is now fixing connection problemswhich make it impossible for players to connect with friends and enjoy carving together. The patch should arrive soon, it is being worked on day and night.
Also AI companions in solo mode are supposed to be more efficientto highlight the player's performance. On the contrary, at other times they are too passive, especially during boss fights, so they want to focus on this in Saber as well. Related to that the Veteran difficulty will be adjusted. It should be a little easier, but still a challenging experience.
As for the new content, in addition to the previously promised expansion of the cooperative and multiplayer game with missions and maps (here), there are to be new classes and weapons for close combat.
