Embody the superhuman skill and brutality of a Space Marine. Unleash deadly abilities and devastating weaponry to obliterate the relentless Tyranid swarms. Defend the Imperium in spectacular third-person action in solo or multiplayer modes. Fight the enemies of Mankind as Lieutenant Demetrian Titus in this sequel to 2011’s Space Marine, and prove your loyalty once again as you are reinstated to the Ultramarines. Hold at bay the horrors of the galaxy in epic battles on far-flung planets and uncover dark secrets to drive back the everlasting night. Dive into a war of galactic proportions! Enjoy intense, gory and fast-paced third-person action with hundreds of enemies on screen, and purge the relentless Tyranid swarms made possible by Saber’s trademark Swarm Engine. Jump in endlessly brutal and replayable PvE and PvP modes as your own Space Marines, unlocking new skills and cosmetics the more you play! Fight as one of six unique classes, unlock up to 25 perks for each class, add perks to each of your weapons, and customise your appearance with a huge array of armour and weapon cosmetics! Tear through unending waves of Tyranid and Chaos assaults and fight to survive as long as you can in the unforgiving 3-player Siege mode. Accumulate points with each wave you defeat to spend on ammunition, equipment charges, Medicae Stimms and more… or use them to summon reinforcements like Cadians, Space Marines or the mighty Dreadnought.
