Space Marines, your calls have been answered, and the First Big Update for Space Marine 2 is finally here. The game has received a brand new Operations mode, a new difficulty setting, and many tweaks and improvements to the overall quality of life and gameplay. Let’s take a look at the new update for Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 and its features.
New Operations Mode
The planet of Kodaku will test the resilience of the Space Marines in their most challenging threat yet. The new operations map Termination will take players on the Imperium last ditch effort to take down the Tyranid Bio-Titan and save the planet before it falls under the clutches of the forces of Chaos.
The brand new PvE Map is now available to all players who own a copy of Space Marine 2, and it can be played with your friends or taken up solo. The new operations will introduce new enemies for players to slay and a whole different environmental vibe.
New Lethal Difficulty
Focus Entertainment has also added a brand new difficulty for players to now tackle in the operations mode. The Lethal difficulty is now the 5 out of 5 difficulty for the game mode, ramming up the challenge and risk in the operations mode. Players will have to work closely and fight off even more harder to defeat foes and threats.
Photo Mode
