Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts—Space Marine 3 is officially in the works, with Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment at the helm. The revelation was made through the Focus Entertainment official website, sparking anticipation across the gaming community.
This development follows the impressive success of its predecessor, the third-person action shooter that has amassed over five million copies sold. It has certainly carved out its space as a standout in the Warhammer 40k series of video games. The announcement was accompanied by comments from key figures like John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, and Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive.
Reflecting on the news, John Bert shared, “We are truly grateful for the overwhelming response from fans after the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Our commitment to supporting the game with engaging content and regular updates remains strong. Today, we’re excited to announce the continuation of this journey with Space Marine 3. Gamers can anticipate a captivating campaign, a multiplayer mode, and groundbreaking innovations that are set to raise the bar for third-person action games. This project, developed in close partnership with Games Workshop, aims to elevate the genre with more grandiose and spectacular large-scale battles.”
Matthew Karch also expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “The success of Space Marine 2 has been a game-changer for Saber. It embodies everything we’ve learned over our 25 years in game development. As we embark on creating Space Marine 3, we carry the weight of high expectations from our rapidly growing fan base. While still nurturing the Space Marine 2 universe in the years to come, we’ll leverage all our insights to craft an even larger and more extraordinary experience for this next chapter. We see this as a chance to create a genuine homage to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.”
As we get these tantalizing glimpses of what’s to come, it’s worth noting the promising timing for the Warhammer 40K IP. There’s an ongoing Amazon series featuring Henry Cavill and a Warhammer 40k MMO being developed by Jackalyptic. However, the latter is reportedly experiencing turbulence following a significant shift in strategy by Netease Games, the studio’s parent company.
