Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 trailers

The Game Awards 2022 unveiled the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s Gameplay Reveal trailer. In this snippet, we watch the chaos of war unfold as Titus brings down numerous enemy hordes.

For more insight into Space Marine 2, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment debuted an Extended Gameplay trailer. It starts off fairly slow while Titus explores the surrounding area. But since Warhammer 40,000 is far from peaceful, it isn’t too long until Titus is greeted by a Tyranid army. You’ll also hear the voice talents of Clive Standen (Vikings, Taken, and Everest), who has taken on the role of the playable character.

Is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 multiplayer?

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers multiplayer features with a maximum of three-player co-op. That means you and two other users can eliminate the Tyranid threat. The Co-Op Campaign Reveal trailer also gave us a glimpse into team dynamics:

Collaborate with your fellow teammates to survive longer in battle and experience the thrilling narrative together. Alternatively, solo-play is available for those who enjoy venturing alone.
