In recent updates regarding the future of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Saber Interactive clarified that the development of Space Marine 3 will not detract from ongoing support for Space Marine 2. The sequel has seen impressive sales, exceeding 7 million copies within a year of its release. Although concerns arose regarding resource allocation between the two titles, Saber assured fans that both projects will exist simultaneously, with additional content like a new Techmarine class and planned DLC for Space Marine 2 well into 2026. Speculation about Space Marine 3 suggests it may not arrive until 2029, with potential new factions such as Necrons tied to hints found within the current game's mission structure.

Will Necrons be featured in Space Marine 3?

While nothing is confirmed, hints within Space Marine 2 and the developers' comments suggest that Necrons could play a significant role in the narrative of Space Marine 3, given their ties to ancient technology explored in the current game.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is part of the expansive Warhammer 40,000 universe, which has captivated fans with its rich lore and diverse factions. The original Space Marine game, released in 2011, focused on the relentless fight against the forces of Chaos and introduced many players to the grimdark world of Warhammer. As the franchise continues to evolve, both Space Marine 2 and the upcoming sequel aim to expand on this beloved narrative, keeping long-time fans and newcomers engaged. With immersive gameplay and a continually evolving storyline, there is much to anticipate in the future of this franchise.
