Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 releases on Sept. 9, 2024. Saber Interactive hasn’t specified an exact release time, so we’ve set the countdown timer below to expire at midnight CT on Sept. 9. If the developer provides any more details regarding an exact release time, we’ll be sure to update this article.

What platforms is Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 releasing for?

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 will be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’s bad news for Switch and last-gen players, but we’re halfway through the current generation now, so can we really be surprised? If Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 lives up to the trailers, it’ll need all that extra processing power.

Can you pre-order Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2?

Yes, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available for pre-order right now. There are three editions to choose from. The base game costs $60, or you can pre-purchase the Gold Edition or Ultra Edition (priced at $90 and $100, respectively) to get four days of early access.

There’s also a Collector’s Edition packed with Warhammer 40,000 goodies, but at the time of writing, it’s sold out. It includes all the following for a whopping $249.99, and we’ll update this article if it comes back in stock.

  • A physical copy of the base game, including exclusive box art from Focus Entertainment. 
  • The official steelbook for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
  • An official behind-the-scenes art book, called The Art and Making of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.
  • A collector’s case featuring unique Space Marine artwork. 
  • Access to the upcoming DLC for the sequel, called Macragge’s Chosen. 
  • A finely detailed and painted 8.25 x 6.7” resin statue of the character Lieutenant Titus fighting a Tyranid alien.
