In addition to new content, the developer has also rolled out patches to fix gameplay issues and bugs, aiming to keep the game fresh and engaging. Since the official announcement of Space Marine 3, some players were a bit worried that Saber would stop pushing out significant updates like it had been doing - but the developer reassured fans that the next game wouldn't affect Space Marine 2, and that new content would keep coming. Now the developer is delivering on that promise, teasing upcoming Space Marine 2 content.

Saber has given players a sneak peek at Space Marine 2's Horde Mode, which is coming in patch 8. The developer revealed that the new mode will support up to three players, and that they will have to battle waves of both Tyranids and Chaos. As players defeat the many waves of enemies, the difficulty will keep increasing, and classes and weapon levels will be based on the player’s PvE levels. Alongside the mode’s brief description, the developer shared an image of the Horde Mode map, which takes place in Kadaku.

Rebalancing of the Absolute difficulty following the community polls

Players will be able to try out the new mode in the PTS before release, but the dates still remain under wraps. New DLC content has also been teased, and players can expect the Blood Angels cosmetic and White Scars Champion pack, as well as a rebalancing of the Absolute difficulty in patch 8. This latest change came as a result of a community poll Saber carried out, and now players can expect a tougher challenge in Space Marine 2’s Absolute difficulty. Saber also invited players to join “Focus Together,” where they can share their ideas and thoughts on the game, which Saber uses to improve the experience.

Prior to this, Space Marine 2 released the Trygon update, which introduced a new PvE map, new cosmetics, private lobbies allowing players to team up with up to 11 others, and more. However, Saber claimed that there were still surprises coming to Space Marine 2 that “even dataminers haven't found out about.” While players wait for the release date announcement, they have a lot to look forward to in patch 8.
