Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 shows off its gameplay for the first time

Focus and Saber Interactive have given us our first peek at gameplay from their upcoming action game, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

Starring Vikings' Clive Standen as Lieutenant Titus, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 sees you "embody a Space Marine, a superhuman warrior who protects humanity from untold horrors, in brutally efficient third-person action". 

"Expect the distinctively fast and fluid game feel from best-in-class studio Saber Interactive - the team and engine behind World War Z," the blurb teases. Check out the action yourself in the trailer below:

That's not all we found out on Thursday night, either; the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Collector's Edition is now available to pre-order. For $250 / £230 you'll get the game on the platform of your choice, as well as a steelbook cover, a 64-page book detailing the art and making of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and a 21 cm resin statuette of Lieutenant Titus fighting a Tyranid.  

You can see it all showcased in this handy video:

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X - no last gen versions, I'm afraid - sometime in 2023.

The Game Awards 2022 has come and gone, but don't panic if you missed it - we've rounded up everything announced at The Game Awards 2022 right here.

Geoff Keighley may have hinted that the show would be shorter this year, but The Game Awards 2022 ran for almost four hours (including the pre-show, that is), so it covered a lot of new stuff, including an update on the Super Mario Bros. movie, Horizon Forbidden West's upcoming DLC, confirmation that a Hades sequel is on the way, plus Final Fantasy 16's release date.

Christopher Judge - who portrays Kratos in God of War - gave an eight-minute acceptance speech, whilst Halsey showed up to sing a song dressed as Lilith from Diablo 4, and Hideo Kojima took to the stage wearing a Death Stranding 2 suit.

Here are the upcoming games of 2023 we really just can't wait for.
