"The Classic 'Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine' Receives a Facelift for a Modern Gaming Experience"
Upgrading the Chaos: Space Marine Chronicles
Prepare yourself, Space Marines! The classic third-person shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, is gearing up for a modern-day reboot. Dubbed the "Master Crafted Edition", this revamped game is a labor of love by port developer SneakyBox, with producer Vaidas Mikelskas promising a blend of the past and present that honors the original game's charm while catering to a new generation of players.
To say the least, this new incarnation of Space Marine won't be a carbon copy of the 2011 original. With graphical updates, a sleek modern UI, and a refined control scheme, these changes will make the game shine like never before on your modern gaming rig. Furthermore, the graphic design team has taken the time to bring the Orks in line with their current visual identity within the Warhammer 40k universe, and over 100 new voice lines have been recorded for added immersion.
Originally developed by Relic Entertainment and released to generally positive reviews, the first Space Marine was planned to have sequels – but, unfortunately, those plans went kaput when the game's publisher THQ ceased operations. Fast forward two years, and Sega, who acquired Relic, re-released the game on PC in 2021. Sega also tapped Saber Interactive to develop the sequel which hit the shelves in 2024 and now has its own follow-up in the pipeline.
Currently, the rights for the first Warhammer 40K: Space Marine stay with Sega, who has yet to officially announce a PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition. So, if you can't wait to dive back into the action, you'll want to snag it on PC, Xbox Series X|S, or through Xbox Game Pass starting on June 10.
