After teasing a large update for the game’s one-year anniversary in September, Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have revealed the full extent of the Year 2 content plans for the biggest Warhammer 40,000 video game of all time.
The news arrived today, on August 28, alongside a generous new trailer which highlights what’s coming soon, what’s on the horizon, and what’s early in development and targeting a 2026 release. Needless to say, this game will be holding the fort for longer than initially expected, probably until Space Marine 3 arrives. Watch the trailer below:
As promised, all the new playable content will remain free, with a new season pass bringing extra cosmetics into the game for the most dedicated soldiers of the Imperium. It’s also looking like the new Cosmetic and Champion Packs will introduce a number of much-requested Space Marine legions and armor pieces to the game. Here’s the full rundown:
- 4 new Operations & a new Siege map
- 3 new Eternal War arenas
- New Stratagems (PvE) and Helbrute Onslaught (PvP) game modes
- New playable class: The Techmarine
- New weapons and free unlockable weapon variants for existing weapons
- New enemies and bosses
- New Progression mechanics

September 4’s Anniversary Update also marks the release of the aforementioned Season Pass II and its first two DLCs: “the Black Templars Champion Pack and Imperial Fists Cosmetic Pack, including a new Champion skin for the Bulwark class and Power Sword skin for the former, and over 40 new cosmetics celebrating 7 of the Imperial Fists’ Successor Chapters for the latter.”
Beyond these hot new additions, WH40K diehards can expect to get their hands on “9 new DLCs celebrating the galaxy-spanning variety of Space Marine Chapters with new Champion skins, armour pieces and heraldry markings,” including (but not limited to) new cosmetics for the Blood Angels and Salamanders plus the Raptors, Iron Hands, and Carcharodons Chapters showing up for the first time.
