Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will receive Year 2 DLC support, with major details revealed about its substantial 10.0 update.
The smash-hit Space Marine 2 has surpassed 7 million sales, prompting publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive to confirm continued support. A recent community announcement outlined Year 2 plans featuring fresh PvE missions, adversaries, armaments, and additional unrevealed content.
Launched in September 2024, Space Marine 2 will celebrate its first anniversary with a significant September update. While Patch 10.0 appears transformative, players should note Patch 9.0 will arrive first—originally slated to introduce a new PvP mode, this feature has been postponed to 10.0, leaving 9.0 focused solely on gameplay balancing.
Early details about the upcoming PvP mode reveal a Chaos-versus-Chaos confrontation on a fresh battleground, featuring playable Helbrutes—monstrous war machines piloted by trapped Chaos Space Marines. Veterans may recall Helbrutes from the campaign's climactic battle against Ultramarine Brother Valtus. The update will also deliver highly anticipated Chaos-themed armors.
Update 10.0 introduces the devastating Power Axe, complete with unique combat animations and execution moves:

The Power Axe's inclusion aligns with Games Workshop's current Space Wolves tabletop promotion. This follows December's viral modding achievement that imported an axe design from Prime Video's Warhammer 40,000: Secret Level series.

Most excitingly, the update introduces Techmarines—a hybrid engineer-class operative deployable across all modes. While visuals remain under wraps, developer confirmation suggests advanced progress, with more details promised soon.
Techmarine rumors gained credibility through datamined references to "shoulder gun bolter" abilities. These mechanically adept warriors combineChapter loyaltywith Cult Mechanicus devotion, specializing in vehicle maintenance and Dreadnought operations.
This content surge arrives alongside surprising confirmation of Space Marine 3's early development. Currently, players can experience Siege Mode—the game's take on survival horde gameplay—through recently launched Patch 8.0.
