Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will now be launching the back-half of 2024, publisher Focus Entertainment has revealed as part of an update on its lineup and schedule to its partners.
The delay is meant to “provide the time needed to properly polish the game and to ensure the best possible experience,” said the publisher in its update.
It continued, “Focus Entertainment is committed to releasing a game that is of the highest quality and that exceeds the expectations of the countless fans of the franchise. Space Marine 2 has already accumulated over a million wish lists to date.”
The update also stated that a release date for Space Marine 2 will be revealed in “early December,” which will almost surely happen during The Game Awards this year.
Even without the fact that the last two Game Awards shows have featured Space Marine 2, alluding to more news coming in early December could only mean one thing at this time of the year.
While it’s always best for publishers to give their development teams as much time as they need to deliver a polished game, hopefully fans won’t have to wait too long into 2024 beyond the halfway point to get their hands on the highly anticipated sequel.
