May 23, 2025 1:02 PM

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive has confirmed that the game will not increase its co-op player limit beyond three for PvE missions, despite modders demonstrating that 12-player co-op is possible. Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits explained that maintaining the three-player limit is crucial for ensuring a balanced challenge against enemies. The modding community has successfully created a 12-player co-op mod, but Saber has no plans to incorporate this into future official updates. New content is expected in Space Marine 2, including Siege mode, cosmetics packs, and clues about future expansions through datamines.

Will Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 ever increase its co-op player limit?
