Looks like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is shaping up to be a meaty follow-up to the original. The potential addition of a PvP mode and expanded enemy factions has me excited to dive back into the grimdark universe. Hoping for some intense multiplayer battles and plenty of visceral combat

It's exciting to see the potential addition of a PvP mode in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, especially with customizable banners and multiple enemy factions. The delay to September 2024 might be a bummer, but it's clear that the game is shaping up to be a deeper and more immersive experience than its predecessor.
