MULTI Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

Hi everyone,​

WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR YOU IN 2025​

WHAT’S COMING IN 2026? ​

• It takes place on Avarax.
• Your squad will deploy to purge Xenos presence and help besieged Cadians.
• An iconic character from the Campaign will come back

• With the announcement of chapter specific heads and voicelines you can strike out “Something we said we are going to do, but nobody noticed” from the list of upcoming customization additions we’ve mentioned in September. We’re really happy to deliver what you have been asking for months now. Nevertheless, the other 2 hints still remain:

• We’ve adjusted our plans and decided to throw in a bit more free stuff than what the Y2 roadmap originally listed.
• The progression update item listed in the roadmap is going to be a whole new feature, we will talk about it closer to its release. On top of that we are going to expand the Datavault’s current Ordeal system next year.
• We are working on a lot of QoL things and sandbox improvements. For example, a highly requested feature of perk loadouts is in the works.
• Contested Health rebalance will happen alongside with Patch 13, but there are going to be a lot of minor QoL improvements before that to build a proper foundation first.
• Siege mode will get a big expansion of its sandbox gameplay and we have big plans for its second map.

DECEMBER COMMUNITY EVENT​

RESULTS OF THE COMMUNITY POLL​

FOCUS TOGETHER’S IDEAS​

Hello there. First off: it's a great idea, and we thank you for it. Such constructed and well-put ideas help us greatly. We're taking notes of the shortcomings in the game's UI. In retrospect, this is how we should have built our customization system for Space Marine 2.
But the reality is that we can't do it (for Space Marine 2 ), not only is it an insane amount of work, you have to consider that we will need to migrate millions of existing save files to a completely new system without breaking anything and without making anyone unhappy with migration.
On top of that, we're devoting our resources to other priorities, such as producing maps, DLCs, weapons, enemies, etc.

TITLE / LINK	SUMMARY	DEV RESPONSE
Heroic Weapon Idea - Calibanite Greatsword	Weapon idea	Greatswords deserve its own moveset and set of finisher animations rather than being just a heroic skin. Those things take a lot of time to implement. That being said "if" we are to make another melee weapon archetype the greatswords will be a top priority. Sorry, Lightning Claws fans.
Display More Team Info	Clearer UI in combat	We do agree, this is something we consider adding later down the line
This BA pauldron	Make the BA Champion R.Pauldron usable for all classes and available as a L.Pauldron	Let's clear things up a little on asset production. It's not that easy to make right pauldrons to be usable on left shoulders. We do not simply ctrl+c / ctrl+v a pauldron, you have to redo the entire asset from scratch, because all of the text and iconography has to be redone and cannot be mirrored. This also means duplicate textures for patterns and everything. Our focus for customization was and will always be about adding new stuff first. We would rather do a completely new shoulder pad, rather than have our Art team spend about the same amount of time to add a different version of the same item. Plus, right shoulders are always our top priority because they can be seen the most from the right side camera when you play. I'm not saying we are never going to do it, but right now the focus is on adding new items, rather than reworking old ones.
Bots should have team perks	Extend bot customization further by giving them team perks	Let's clarify a bit how the bots work in PvE: since they are not real players, they do not use the same gameplay rules as players. They are not designed to have team perks because their combat capabilities already kind of include some of the team perks. They are going to be too strong if they have team perks. We would rather have players to play in coop than with bots. Bots are a fall back solution.
Assault Ability Resource Rework - Unlock More Fun Dynamic Play	Various ideas to improve Assault's ability and make it less restrictive	We are very hesitant to allow Assault to Jump Pack dash without using his ability, for the same reason why his Jump Pack works differently from Story and PvP. He will be able to skip the entire areas of the map and there is nothing you can do about it. It's not like we are never going to do this, but we want to see how our changes to Jump Dash build work first without breaking the entire logic of the class. Because Assault is not a bad class right now, definitely not weak. Just need more build variety and Jump Dashes is the prime candidate for it.
Siege Mode Dreadnought Ai	Make Dreadnought AI prioritize enemy by threat level	This is something we might consider eventually, yes.
Black Shield/Death Watch cosmetics	Add Black Shield and/or Deathwatch cosmetics	More Deathwatch cosmetics are coming. But keep in mind that Deathwatch from Story are not Primaris marines and we cannot use their armour in PvE.
More customisation slots	Increase the amount of available customization slots, because there are now too much cosmetic options compared to the amount of available custo slots	Indeed, that would be nice to have. We'll see what we can do.
Expand the Accolades cap to 1,500	We think that the current cap and rate of accolades gain is fine. Besides, we will be adding more ways to earn accolades in the game, but the cap is going to stay.

THAT’S IT FOR THIS YEAR!​
