Space Marine 2 gives you new gamplay, Crossplay confirmed – That’s Gaming

The long-awaited sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is coming out in about two weeks, and it looks great. New gameplay was shown during the Xbox @ Gamescom 2024 livestream, with Tim Willits, CEO of Saber Interactive, explaining how the team’s new AI director works. Check it out below, courtesy of GameSpot.

As the Space Marines cut through the Tyranid hordes on Avarax, they will encounter massive architecture. This results in several intense situations, such as fighting hundreds of enemies on a ramp. Your allies will also alert you to specific enemy types on the field.

Willits noted how Tyranid hordes break up and turn into standalone enemies, with the AI director managing their tactics, which change depending on the state of the battle and the status of your allies. This can even result in the appearance of more advanced units, making objectives – such as protecting the chains of a giant elevator from flying Tyranids – more challenging.

Willits also confirmed that cross-play will be supported, although further details have yet to be revealed. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will launch on Sept. 9 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
