‘Warhammer 40K: Space Marine II’ Set for Release in “The Second Half of 2024”

Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have announced that they will be revealing the release date for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II early next month (presumably during The Game Awards). However, they’ve also announced that Space Marine II will take a little longer than expected to arrive.

In Focus Entertainment’s letter to update investors on their release schedule, the publisher announced that the game is now “poised to ship in the second half of 2024”, instead of its original winter 2023 release. The purpose behind the delay is to “provide the time needed to properly polish the game and to ensure the best possible experience.”

Focus Entertainment is right to take their time with the development of Space Marine II, given that the anticipated follow-up to the 2011 original has “already accumulated over a million wish lists to date”. It probably also helps that pre-orders have been open since June.

Space Marine II sees you once again put on the armour of a Space Marine of the Ultramarines Chapter, a superhuman warrior who protects humanity from untold horrors. Players once again take on the role of Ultramarine Captain Titus, who faces off against the Tyranids, a ravenous insect-like alien threat.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
