The Space Marine 2 video game release date has been delayed significantly and looks like it won’t be showing up for a while.
The first game did really well, and people have been pretty hyped about this one. Games Workshop has also pushed it harder than most with a board game, new missions, and plenty of press.
However, if you’ve been waiting patiently (or impatiently) to play, it will be another six months.
Focus says they moved the game to deliver a better player experience, and we would rather have a delay than a bad game, to be honest!
Space Marine 2 Release Date Delayed
In a recent update, Focus Entertainment said:
The game is now poised to ship in the second half of 2024, to provide the time needed to properly polish the game and to ensure the best possible experience. 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.
Considering the first game is so loved, and how many people want the second one, it’s probably better to delay it and actually make a great game. However, this is a pretty long delay, as the second half of 2024 could theoretically be December next year… but let’s hope it’s more like July.
We don’t have an exact release date, but December is coming soon, and then we’ll have a solid release date. The Game Awards 2023 are happening on December 7th, and it would make sense for them to announce it then.
It will be interesting to see if GW keeps promoting the game really hard or if they will hold off with more until the title is closer to launch.
