Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 Developer Saber Interactive has revealed a little bit of what we can expect from the co-op shooter in 2025. Just before the end of 2024, the studio posted something of a roadmap that includes including various pieces of new content coming in 2025.
While the 2025 calendar (understandably) looks a little light compared to last year's month, we Yes get new PvE as well as PvP content.

Starting with PvE, the biggest news is undoubtedly the arrival of Horde Mode, which Saber confirmed last year. Unfortunately, we don't have a release date for it yet, and it looks like it won't be in the game until “later in 2025.”
In the future, Season 3 will introduce Prestige Rank, which will unlock new upgrades for the various classes. The blog post also confirmed that Space Marine 2 will be getting new Jobs, and new enemies. Those who have mastered the current content will be happy to know that there is also a new difficulty level in the works, and with it, new rewards will be available to solve.
PvP looks less exciting, with a new map put in, with narrow corridors and a layout that encourages close combat. 2025 will also mark the official arrival of custom lobbying, which will be available as part of patch 7.0. The system provides the ability to choose from several modifiers, as well as control the number of players per game (although not more than 6v6). Other parameters such as round time limit and score are also among the available options. The even more interesting news is that you will be able to allow more than two players in each class, meaning that all six can be one class – if you want it.
In-game community events are also part of the calendar for 2025, the first of which has already started, and will be available all the way until January 20th. It's fairly doable, and completing it earns you the Mark 11 Hell's Teeth Pattern Chainsword skin.
The cosmetic content train will continue in 2025, too, with the release of The Salamander Champion, available in PvE and PvP. It's a sniper, a class that hasn't seen much love in terms of new cosmetics since the game's release.
Speaking of customization, more elements will be added throughout the year. Saber showed off the Mark 6 Corvus as one of the new pieces coming to the game. Beyond that, you can also expect the Datavault to be available on the Battle Barge. Admittedly, this one is a bit more exciting, but it allows you to read the details of the enemy, and it also serves as another way to spend your in-game currency.
Although it is mostly a very simple video game, Space Marine 2 was well received for that very reason. It was one of my favorite games of 2024and I will definitely be returning to it in the new year to play the new content.
