"Space Marine, the Warhammer 40,000 title, to receive an upgrade"
Here Comes the 'Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine' Remaster!
It's been a year since its sequel dropped, and now the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is marching into modern gaming territory. This revamped masterpiece, known as the "Master Crafted Edition," is gracing our screens, thanks to the work of port developer, SneakyBox. According to producer, Vaidas Mikelskas, this update is all about striking a balance between the game's glorious past and shiny, new future. He describes it as a heartfelt restoration that preserves the game's unique charm while giving it a polished, contemporary sheen for a whole new generation of gamers.
The update brings a slew of changes, including enhanced graphics, a snazzy new user interface, and a refined control scheme. But the improvements don't stop there. The Orks have received a visual overhaul to align more closely with their current representation in the Warhammer 40K universe. Additionally, the game boasts over 100 new voice lines to keep your ears entertained.
Originally developed by Relic Entertainment, the first Space Marine dropped in 2011 and received largely positive reviews. Despite plans for two sequels, things didn't work out when the game's publisher THQ shuttered its doors. Fast forward two years, and Sega stepped in, acquiring Relic and re-releasing the game on PC in 2021. Later in the same year, Saber Interactive began development on the sequel for publisher Focus Entertainment, which hit the markets in 2024 and is now gearing up for its sequel.
Currently, Sega hasn't announced a PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition. If you're itching to get your hands on this remastered classic, you'll have to do it via PC, Xbox Series X|S, or Xbox Game Pass on June 10 (with the PC version potentially dropping a day earlier).
