Despite numerous modern games facing difficulties in achieving success, this isn’t true for Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This game has surpassed 6 million players across all platforms, as reported in the latest financial results from PullUp Entertainment, the entity managing Focus Entertainment.
According to Geoffroy Sardin, deputy CEO of PullUp Entertainment, the performance of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been extraordinary. In fact, by the year 2024, it had become one of the top-selling games on major platforms, boasting a player base of approximately 6 million unique gamers. Since this game is not available through gaming subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass at the moment, it’s likely that it has nearly reached sales of 6 million copies.
In addition, it’s worth mentioning that Games Workshop, the company owning the Warhammer IP, is equally delighted with the game’s success. A recent financial report indicates that during the first half of their fiscal year ending December 1, 2024, they earned approximately £26.1 million GBP (around $31.8 million USD), a significant portion of which can be attributed to the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
gamesWorkshop’s CEO, Kevin Rountree, mentions they’re searching for the next major hit game, acknowledging that such triumphs are often elusive.
Ongoing sales from established games, such as Space Marine 2’s successor, along with royalties earned, help our revenue. It’s important to note that achievements like these in the gaming world for Warhammer are not automatic. We’re always on the lookout for the next big thing. As we predict future royalty income, we approach it with caution.
A large number of games, but few massive successes
Although numerous Warhammer games have been victorious in the past, like the strategic series Total War: Warhammer from Sega and Creative Assembly, or Owlcat Games’ role-playing game Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, these triumphs are quite rare.
For enthusiasts of Warhammer, the future appears promising as Saber Interactive ponders over creating DLC for Space Marine 2, or potentially even Space Marine 3. In the interim, anticipate additional content, including new adversaries and a Horde mode, set to be introduced in-game by the end of this year.
I’m curious to find out which other games will be approved in the future, since the backdrop offers immense possibilities for various factions and characters to take center stage across multiple genres of gaming. For myself, I would greatly appreciate an Adepta Sororitas game modeled after Space Marine, as well as a survival-horror title that puts you in the shoes of an ordinary citizen within the Imperium.
In the realm of television productions, an agreement has been finalized with Amazon, allowing actor Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 series to progress. However, further details about the project are still some time away.
The action game “Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2” can now be played on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5. Cross-platform play is enabled for all platforms in the Operations mode, while console cross-play is supported for Player versus Player (PvP) matches.
