Today, publisher Focus Entertainment proudly announced that Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 has surpassed the enviable milestone of seven million units sold to date.
Saber Interactive's third-person shooter game launched on September 9, 2024, and immediately became a hit. The following day, Focus Home revealed that two million copies had already been sold. Those became five million units near the end of November.
A sequel was already inevitable at that point, though we weren't expecting an announcement anytime soon. Instead, Warhammer 40K Space Marine 3 was confirmed to be in development as early as this March, promising even larger battles.
That doesn't mean support for Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is ending anytime soon. In fact, at the recent 2025 Skulls event, we learned that Siege Mode is being added to the game in a couple of weeks.
Here's a detailed overview of Siege Mode provided by Saber Interactive:
The battle unfolds within a fortified Imperial stronghold on Kadaku, relentlessly attacked by endless waves of Tyranid and Thousand Sons enemies. The fortress has three rotating sectors: Defensive Positions, the Arsenal, and the Control Room. In each sector, you will face five waves of enemies before your squad advances to the next sector, ultimately cycling back to reinforce earlier positions.
Face increasingly challenging enemy waves, with direct assaults from Tyranids and cunning sabotage by Chaos forces. Brief (1 minute) intermissions between waves offer strategic opportunities, clearly indicated through UI notifications. Dynamic tasks such as capturing strategic points or retrieving Data-slates from fallen allies deepen tactical gameplay and supply critical resources essential for continued survival.
Earn Siege Mode resources through successful combat and Side Objective completion. You can spend these resources at the fortress Shop. You can:
- Buy ammunition, medicae stimms, equipment, armour boosts, guardian relic (these items have the same exact behaviour as in Operations Mode).
- Summon specialized Space Marines providing targeted support and bonuses. Each player can have only one summoned Space Marine.
- Deploy Cadian Troopers to provide additional firepower.
- Collectively pool your resources to unleash the devastating power of a Dreadnought.
