'Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition' Brings 4K, Revamped Controls/UI And More To PC And Xbox Series X|S In June - Trailer

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an action-RPG title that will put you in control of individual units throughout a narrative-driven story campaign and in wide-scale online battles.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war...

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine takes place in the brutal, science fiction setting of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. In the 41st Millennium, humanity faces extinction at the hands of horrific aliens and demonic hordes. Only one force offers salvation, the superhuman Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an intense Action-RPG featuring epic battles where players take direct control of the ultimate defender of humanity, the mighty Space Marine.

Space Marine puts players into the role of one of humanity ’s elite soldiers, as they battle to protect an Imperial Forge World from a millions-strong Ork invasion. But this isn’t all that faces Captain Titus of the Ultramarines. When Titus makes planet-fall, he soon realizes that the forces of Chaos are lurking in the shadows pulling the strings for their own nefarious purposes.

The addition of Chaos forces adds more variety to the Space Marine single-player campaign by complementing the animalistic and horde-like Orks with a much more powerful and strategic enemy. While Titus can dispatch dozens of Orks alone, the Chaos Space Marines are more than capable of going toe-to-toe with him, especially with the support of Renegade Militia, Tainted Psykers and Bloodletter Daemons, among other units. 

Combining intense melee and ranged combat, Space Marine puts players into the boots of one of humanity’s elite soldiers, genetically engineered and equipped with state of the art weapons and armor. Players are dropped right into the action as they battle to defend an Imperial Forge World, from an invasion by the savage and brutal Orks, using the most devastating weaponry mankind has at its disposal.

You are a Space Marine, one of humanity’s elite warriors, the last line of defence between mankind and its enemies. Through extensive genetic modification, psycho-chemical conditioning and years of rigorous training that would kill a normal man a Space Marine becomes superhuman.

When one of the industrial ‘Forge World’ planets where humanity creates its greatest weapons, comes under attack and the thousands of imperial soldiers stationed there are overwhelmed the only thing standing between this planet and its total destruction is your Space Marine.


Updated for a new generation by SneakyBox with 4K resolution, modernised controls, an interface overhaul, improved character models and remastered audio, the Master Crafted Edition brings the fight, the gore and the glory closer, louder and with greater impact than ever before. Experience this landmark third-person shooter set within the grim darkness and ceaseless conflict of the Warhammer 40,000 universe like never before.

Enter the fray, protect the Imperial Forge world Graia and experience the events that cemented Captain Titus’ place in the history of the Ultramarines. For the Emperor.

“Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition isn't just a technical upgrade – it's a thoughtful restoration,” said Producer Vaidas Mikelskas from SneakyBox. “We aimed to preserve the spirit of the original while modernizing the experience for today’s players. “This is more than just Master Crafted Edition, it's a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving what made the original special while making it shine for a new generation of players.”
