Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have expressed their disappointment over the circulation of a pirated, unfinished build of their game, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The companies issued a joint statement describing the situation as “disheartening,” emphasizing the detrimental impact on their efforts to keep certain aspects of the game a surprise for players.
Despite this setback, the developers have been moved by the strong support from the community. They urged fans to avoid engaging with the leaked build and to refrain from sharing spoilers. The team clarified that the leaked version is almost a year old and does not reflect the final quality of the game.
The statement highlighted the extensive effort, passion, and dedication that have gone into the game’s development. Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment lamented that this outdated build might be the first encounter with the game for some of their most enthusiastic fans, potentially spoiling the intended experience.
Reaffirming their commitment to delivering a high-quality game, the developers explained their decision to extend the development period. This additional time is meant to ensure that players receive the best possible version of Space Marine 2 when it officially launches.
The companies concluded their message by reiterating their request for fans to avoid the unfinished build and to support the official release on September 9. They emphasized that experiencing the game as intended by the developers is the best way to honor the hard work put into its creation. The statement was jointly signed by Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment.
