Warhammer Space Marine 2 gameplay
Warhammer Space Marine 2 is an action-focused third-person shooter with hack 'n' slash elements just as the 2011 original. This time around, though, its frenetic action and explosive gore is powered on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and modern PC hardware. It looks outstanding.
The development team shared the first look at its gameplay in early 2023 and you can check out the trailer below:
It looks every bit as brutal, bombastic, and over-the-top as we could have hoped. Better yet, it's been confirmed since that the campaign will be playable in co-op for up to three players.
Little is known about the game's story, but thanks to the game's official announcement, we know this will be a title where players will unleash "deadly abilities and an arsenal of devastating weaponry to obliterate the relentless Tyranid hordes".
