Fans have eagerly awaited Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the sequel to the 2011 third-person shooter developed by Saber Interactive. The anticipation has built up over more than a decade, with some fans waiting patiently and others showing their enthusiasm more aggressively.
Recently, a playable pre-release build was leaked online, resulting in walkthroughs being posted on YouTube. This has caused a mix of excitement and concern among the fanbase.
Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have responded to the leak, urging fans to avoid the leaked content. In a joint statement, they expressed their disappointment that years of hard work, passion, and dedication were undermined by the premature reveal. They highlighted that the leaked build is almost a year old and does not represent the final product, which might impact how some fans experience the game for the first time.
Despite the developers’ concerns, some Reddit users have found positives in the leak. One user noted that the game ran well on a mid-end laptop, suggesting that if it looks good in an unfinished state, the final product could be even more impressive. This observation has helped to reassure and hype up some fans about the game’s performance and quality.
Saber Interactive has asked fans to avoid the leaked build and refrain from spoiling the game for others. They emphasized that the best way to support the development team’s efforts is to experience the game as intended upon its official release. The developers hope that fans will respect their wishes and hold off on exploring any leaked content.
Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the official release of Space Marine 2. The game is set to launch on September 9 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, allowing players to enjoy the full, polished experience as the developers intended. This upcoming release promises to deliver on the long-awaited sequel’s expectations.
