Loyal servants of the Emperor, rejoice! After many long years, Space Marine 2 stomping its way onto PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on September 9th, the upstanding and totally not heretical developement team have blessed us with knowledge of what awaits in the first year after the game launches.
In total, the first year of content, which is referred to as the “battle plan”, contains four seasons worth of stuff. The first season will contain a Season Pass which focuses purely on cosmetics, along with a sparring arena and battle barge.
Season 2 gets a bit more interesting with new PvE missions, a pistol, a higher difficulty and a new enemy. Season 3 adds even more, containing another PvE mission, a new PvP game mode, another new enemy and a battle barge expansion. Meanwhile, season 4 promises a horde mode and another weapon. A variety of cosmetic packs will be released as well.
“Space Marine 2 has never been closer, and we’re blown away by your excitement.” writes the team. “Thank you so much for the enthusiasm you have shared with us on all platforms! We truly can’t wait to read and watch your feedback next week about the fruit of years of work from all of us.”
I would be lying if I said this battle plan does anything other than diminish my excitement for Space Marine 2 the tiniest bit, but that’s purely personal: a wall of post-launch content like this is a stark reminder of what I dislike about modern gaming.
Outside of that though, I can’t freaking wait to get control of Titus once again and wreck some shit in the name of the Emperor!
