Space Marine: Warhammer 40,000 Will Undergo a Redesign
Ready to dive back into the gritty world of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine? SneakyBox's Master Crafted Edition of this iconic third-person shooter is set to drop on June 10, 2025, making a splash on PC and Xbox Series X|S platforms. For Xbox gamers, you'll also find it on Xbox Game Pass that very same day[1][2][5]. Alas, there's no word yet on a PlayStation release[1].
This revitalized spacefaring adventure delivers a visually impressive remaster, offering graphical upgrades, a user-friendly modern UI, and an optimized control scheme[3]. Upgraded Ork models now align closely with the current franchise canon, and over 100 delicious new voice lines await your aural pleasure[4].
Originally brought to us by Relic Entertainment in 2011, the pioneering Space Marine earned mostly positive reviews[4]. Plans for sequels hit a snag when its publisher, THQ, shuttered shop. Sega, who acquired Relic in 2013, reissued the game on PC in 2021[2]. Fast forward to 2024, and Saber Interactive revealed they'd be developing the sequel, which garnered strong reviews of its own and has another sequel in the pipeline[4].
Now, rights for the original Warhammer 40K: Space Marine rest comfortably with Sega, but they haven't shared any details on a PlayStation 5 version just yet. So, if you're hankering for some interstellar smackdowns, you'll have to gear up on PC or Xbox Series X|S, or fight by the blade of Xbox Game Pass[1].
