Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive has finally confirmed what fans can expect from its seasonal post-launch content model.
The hotly anticipated action game launches in September, and during that time Saber plans to release various patches aimed at fixing issues players report.
After that, Season Pass owners can expect a drip-feed of content and cosmetics based on specific Space Marine chapters. “The Season Pass has been envisioned as a way to enhance your customisation for your character,” Saber stressed. “All the gameplay additions listed here in the roadmap (including weapons, game modes, and maps) are intended to arrive in free game patches and will be accessible to everyone.”
Season 2 runs from October until the end of 2024, and includes a new Operations map, a new enemy, a harder difficulty level, a new weapon, and various other improvements, Saber said.
Season Pass owners get new cosmetics based on the Dark Angels chapter: color schemes, heraldry, a weapon skin, and a Champion skin: a unique full armor set for the Bulwark class.
Saber said to expect “much more” content added throughout 2025, including new Operations, PvP maps, and game modes like Horde mode, all for free. Elsewhere, Season Pass owners will get more cosmetic items based on iconic chapters.
The Year One Battle Plan, outlined in the image above, confirms plans for at least four seasons of post-launch support. Season 3 adds a Battle Barge expansion (the Battle Barge is your spaceship hub). Season 4 lists the aforementioned Horde Mode.
Space Marine 2 sees Titus of the Ultramarines go up against the Tyranid horde as well as Chaos Marines in a sequel that arrives 13 years after its predecessor. It includes a campaign that can be played co-op, co-op focused Operations, and a PvP mode.
Meanwhile, a new animation based on Space Marine 2 is set to appear as part of Amazon’s recently announced Secret Level anthology series.
