Game Director Dmitry Grigorenko has put forth some potential story concepts, which might materialize as either DLC or a sequel, according to Willits. “We’re still catching our breath after this; it’s only been two weeks,” he says. “We just need a bit of time for things to calm down. However, I can assure you with confidence that we won’t let down our Warhammer fans in the future. The success of this project is too significant! It might seem obvious, but I hope we’ll be developing Space Marine content for a considerable period.

Without giving away any plot details, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 undeniably sets up potential continuations focusing on Titus and the Ultramarines.

While the narrative may not be groundbreaking, it effectively provides an authentic 40K experience in a heart-pounding, action-packed adventure.
