2024 saw the release of many fantastic games, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. While many gamers are looking towards new releases in 2025, developer Saber Interactive has unveiled an exciting roadmap for Space Marine 2, promising a wealth of new content for existing players in the coming year. This includes updates to both PvP and PvE, ensuring there’s something for everyone in the grim dark future.
Since its launch in September 2024, Space Marine 2 has already received two major updates and several smaller patches. Saber Interactive’s roadmap indicates this commitment to supporting the game will continue throughout 2025, with a focus on expanding both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment experiences.

PvP Enhancements: Close-Quarters Combat and Custom Lobbies
The roadmap outlines significant additions for PvP enthusiasts, who have eagerly awaited new content. A new map designed around close-quarters combat and narrow passages is in development. This environment will emphasize melee combat, making the iconic chainsword even more deadly. Furthermore, Patch 7.0 will introduce custom PvP lobbies, granting players control over modifiers, player counts, time limits, and score limits, allowing for highly personalized matches.
PvE Expansions: Horde Mode, New Enemies, and Increased Difficulty
PvE players also have much to anticipate, with the highly-anticipated Horde Mode slated for release later in 2025. Saber Interactive promises to share more details about this exciting new mode as development progresses. Alongside Horde Mode, the roadmap also includes a new Prestige Rank system, new Operations, and a fresh wave of deadly enemies to challenge players. A new difficulty level offering increased rewards will further test players’ skills and provide incentive for seasoned veterans to return to the fray.

New Champion: The Salamander Sniper
Perhaps the most exciting addition is the arrival of a new champion: the Salamander Champion. This marksman will be available in both PvE and PvP modes, providing players with a new tactical option. Saber Interactive outlined their reasoning for choosing a Salamander Champion:
- Their distinctive cape (a crucial factor).
- Alternative plans for the Raven Guard, despite being an obvious choice for a sniper.
- A desire to represent the beloved Salamanders with a dedicated champion.

Customization Options and the Battle Barge
In addition to the Salamander Champion, Space Marine 2 will receive further customization options throughout 2025, including the iconic Mark VI Corvus armor. This will allow players to represent their favorite Space Marine Chapters with even greater fidelity.
The roadmap also teases the Battle Barge, a new area where players can unlock information about in-game enemies. A unique currency will be tied to this area, with more details to be revealed later by Saber Interactive.
The Future of Space Marine 2
With this extensive roadmap, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The planned updates and additions promise to enhance both the PvP and PvE experiences, offering new challenges, customization options, and content to keep players engaged in the grim darkness of the far future.
