"Space Marine, the Warhammer 40,000 game, is due for an upgrade"
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Returns to Modern Gaming with Updated Master Crafted Edition
The highly-anticipated return of the original third-person shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, is approaching, slated for release on June 10, 2025. The definitive Master Crafted Edition, developed by SneakyBox, will be available on PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and GOG) and Xbox Series X|S, with an Xbox Game Pass launch on the same day.
SneakyBox describes the update as a meticulous restoration, aiming to bridge the gap between past and present while maintaining the game's original charm for a new generation of players. Enhancements include 4K resolution, modernized controls, a revamped user interface, improved character models, and remastered audio featuring over 100 new Ork voice lines.
First released in 2011 by Relic Entertainment, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine garnered generally positive reviews. The game was set to have sequels, but these fell through when its publisher THQ ceased operations. Sega acquired Relic Entertainment in 2013 and subsequently re-released the game on PC in 2021. Saber Interactive was later tasked with developing the sequel, released in 2024 to strong reviews, with its own follow-up currently in development.
While Sega holds the rights to the first Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, no PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition has been announced, leaving PC and Xbox Series X|S as the only confirmed platforms.
Fans of other popular franchises can look forward to updates on the latest Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who releases. Stay tuned for more news from io9.
