While late last year Focus Entertainment and Saber already revealed what to expect in 2025, there is now a more detailed roadmap.
Greetings Space Marines,
New Year, New Content!
We hear you're hungry for content, and we're happy to see how excited you are about the game!
First off, please don’t forget to check the roadmap for 2025! Worry not, even if this roadmap ends in 2025, that doesn’t mean the game will not receive new content after that! But first things first, let’s focus on this year. If you missed it, the updated roadmap is here.
Secondly, we'd like to remind you that Space Marine 2 will continually be updated with content and technical support throughout 2025.
You’ll progressively get new skins, new PvP and PvE maps, custom lobbies for PvP, the Horde Mode is coming this year as well, PvE prestige ranks and new weapons as well.
Community Events will also keep coming throughout the year.
The Datavault Update we’re about to break down will arrive in February!
Space Marine 2 has been out for 4 months, and your continued enthusiasm means the world to us.
We’re not done with it! You can expect updates every two months. We’d love to do more, but we’re committed to delivering polished updates, which takes time and care! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support.
NEW PVP MAP - TOMB
A new PvP map is about to be implemented in the 6.0 update! We already hinted that it will be set in a closed environment with many narrow passages pushing you to engage more in Closed Quartered Battles.
It takes place beneath the surface of Demerium, amongst the haunting structures of in a Necron tomb. It’s a closed environment with many narrow passages. Pay extra attention because there are blind spots. There’s also a wider area to let you switch combat style.
NEW ENEMY - BIOVORE
The Biovore is a new enemy in PvE, in all maps featuring Tyranids. It’s an Extremis enemy, a dreadful foe both in distance and melee combat. Beware of the Spore Mines ithe shoots.
Don’t forget to dodge and then aim at the Spore Mine to destroy them before impact.
SALAMANDERS CHAMPION
We announced it last month: The Salamanders Champion is here! One of the Loyalist First Founding Chapters of the Space Marines.
Available for the Sniper class, with both skins for your Champion and for your Bolt Sniper Rifle: adorn that green paint, those flames and go dominate the battlefield.
RAVEN GUARD COMING!
The Raven Guard are joining the fight! New cosmetics will soon be available with the season pass including the fan-favorite: beaky helmet (MK VI “Corvus”) and Raven Guard trinkets.
The MK VI “Corvus” helmet comes both with and without the Raven Guard emblem, allowing you to customize your Space Marine for your convenience.
DATAVAULT
The Datavault makes its entry to the Battle Barge!
In this new area, you will find unlockable information on most elements from the game in the Research Centre, as well as cosmetic rewards. To unlock them, you will need a new special currency, earned via in-game achievements (called Ordeals), in all modes (Campaign, PvE and PvP). Time to challenge yourself!
Those achievements will be listed beside the unlockable info.
Here’s the kind of Ordeals you’ll have to complete to unlock the currency:
Complete any Mission in Operations mode on Average Threat Level or higher.
Knock back Spore Mines to kill Tyranids.
Make a Carnifex stun itself in Operations mode.
PERKS REWORK
In a past Community Update, we mentioned that we were not completely satisfied with the quality of perks. We’ve reworked some of them, and these enhancements will be introduced in the next update release. More changes will come on the perks in the future, and we hope this first change on the perks feel more satisfying and engaging. We’re all ears, so don’t hesitate to share your feedback!
FOV SLIDER FOR PC
You expressed how eager you were to get a FOV Slider since the launch. While implementing it has been technically challenging, we’ve finally managed to produce a slider worthy of our standards, introduced in version 6.0.
We hope this new feature will meet your expectations!
AND MORE
New finisher animations on Zoanthropes, Scarab Occult Terminators and Rubric Marines.
A new functionality will be added, allowing you to upgrade your Master-Crafted and Artificer Armoury Data to Relic by trading them. You can also sell your Armoury Data to get Requisition Points.
- A new difficulty mode with cosmetic rewards will be added for the braves able to successfully complete Operations in this more intense difficulty: a bloodstained Knife Combat and a new pauldron. Note that this new difficulty will only be available if you have completed at least 1 Operation in Lethal Difficulty.
