"Space Marine, the Warhammer 40,000 game, gets a long-awaited revamp"
In the wake of its sequel's arrival, the timeless third-person shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, is making a comeback to the modern gaming world. This revamped edition, dubbed the "Master Crafted Edition," is the brainchild of the crafty minds at SneakyBox.
According to producer Vaidas Mikelskas, the update is a careful blend of nostalgia and innovation, a symphony between the past and the present. The original charm remains intact, polished to gleam for a new breed of galaxy-conquering players. Apart from graphic enhancements and a snazzy modernized UI and control scheme, this refreshed Space Marine graces our screens with a visual facelift for the Orks, synchronizing them with their current franchise look. Moreover, over a hundred fresh voice lines add a fresh flavor to the gameplay.
Originating from the likes of Relic Entertainment, the original Space Marine graced the gaming scene in 2011 and received generally favorable reviews. Sadly, its sequels never saw the light of day, as the game's publisher THQ bit the dust. Sega, who acquired Relic two years later, re-released the game on PC in 2021. Subsequently, Saber Interactive took the reins for the sequel, published by Focus Entertainment, which received mostly positive feedback upon its 2024 release and boasts a sequel of its own in development.
As of now, Sega has kept mum about a PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition. If you're eager to dive back into the action, you'll need to get your hands on a PC or Xbox Series X|S, or play it via Xbox Game Pass on June 10.
