PC Gaming Show 2022: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Interview

Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive, and Oliver Hollis, creative director on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, joined together for an interview about the aforementioned game during the PC Gaming Show 2022 showcase on 12th June. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a shooter hack-n-slash mix that serves as the sequel to 2011 game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 finds the player fighting insectoid aliens known as Tyranids while embodying a two-and-a-half meter tall Space Marine.

“The Space Marine is a brainchild of the emperor, the kind-of leader of humanity in the grim, dark future,” said Hollis during the interview. “He saw the dangers that the universe presented and he created a super soldier from his own DNA. Each of these different factions, the different chapters, have different genetic traits of the emperor.”

During the interview, Hollis also gave information on the main enemy in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. “In this particular game, the Tyranids are the main focus and what makes them compelling is that they are extra-galactic locust-like creatures. They’ve come in from goodness knows where. They spread like wildfire. They devour everything in their path and they leave nothing in their wake.”

Willits also gave his thoughts on the creatures. “One of the great things about the Tyranids is they come in the thousands and our proprietary engine, the Saber Swarm Engine, can deliver these epic battles. Now we will have thousand of Tyranids and you will rip and tear through them all.”

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC at an undetermined date.
