Space Marine 3 Officially Announced Following Space Marine 2's Success

Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have officially begun development on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3, following the massive success of Space Marine 2, which has sold an impressive 5 million copies since its release last year.

The announcement came as welcome news to fans of the franchise, though specific details about the upcoming game remain limited. What we do know is that the iconic character Titus will return as the protagonist, continuing his journey in the grim darkness of the far future.

"We're pleased to announce that the development for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 has officially begun at Focus Entertainment, Saber Interactive and Games Workshop," reads the official statement. The companies added that updates will be shared "when the time is right," as their current focus remains on "delivering the best possible experience for Space Marine 2 players."

According to Games Workshop, Space Marine 3 "will boast an all-new immersive campaign and multiplayer modes," while Focus Entertainment promises the game will deliver "an even more immersive experience, staying true to the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with intense, brutal, and spectacular gameplay."

John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, stated that they "will continue to support the game with exciting content and regular updates in the coming years." He added that Space Marine 3 will "take the genre to new heights by introducing large-scale battles that are even more spectacular."

Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, described Space Marine 2 as "a transformative game" for the company, representing "the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business." Looking ahead to Space Marine 3, Karch acknowledged the "tremendous expectations" from their growing fanbase and promised "an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment."

For players concerned about the timing of this announcement just six months after Space Marine 2's release, Games Workshop offered reassurance that Space Marine 3 "is likely years away from release." This gives the developers ample time to craft a worthy sequel while continuing to support the current game.

"The good news for all you Space Marine 2 fans is there's still years of support coming your way," Games Workshop explained. They revealed that Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are "working tirelessly" on new content, including missions, upgrades, and enemies. The much-anticipated Horde mode is also "right around the corner."
