Space Marine Edition of Warhammer 40,000 receives long-awaited upgrade
🚀 Strap in, Space Marine Commanders! 🚀
Buckle up, because the iconic third-person shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, is storming back to the modern gaming scene! SneakyBox, the mastermind behind this port, has lovingly resurrected the action-packed classic in the form of the "Master Crafted Edition." With the perfect mix of nostalgia and innovation, this game will be a delight for both original fans and newcomers alike.
Producer Vaidas Mikelskas painted a vivid picture describing the update as "a thoughtful restoration...a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving what made the original special while making it shine for a new generation of players." Expect an upgrade in the graphics department, a sleek new user interface, and a snazzy control scheme to suit today's gaming rigs.
A fresh coat of paint isn't the only thing waiting for you on the battlefield. The Orks will receive an overhaul to align their look with the current visual identity in the Warhammer 40k universe. In addition, you'll find over 100 brand-new voice lines to immerse you in the brutal conflicts between man and alien.
Originally, the game was born as a brainchild of Relic Entertainment in 2011, and while it had two sequels in the pipeline, they were unfortunate casualties when the game's publisher, THQ, shut its doors. However, a turn of fate brought the publishing rights to Sega in 2013, who re-released the game on PC in 2021.
One of Sega's acquisitions later resulted in Saber Interactive developing the sequel for publisher Focus Entertainment, which dropped in 2024 with a barrage of positive reviews. A follow-up is already on the way!
As of now, rights for the first Warhammer 40k: Space Marine reside with Sega, and there's no official announcement regarding a PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition. If you're eager to get your hands on this cosmic warfare, you can grab it on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store) or Xbox Series X|S starting June 10, 2025. Better yet, if you're an Xbox Game Pass member, you'll find it in your library from day one!
