Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has steadily been receiving new content since it launched in September 2024. From new weapons, modes, enemy types, and maps, so much has been added to keep players busy. It's been an extremely generous offering, especially as all of these updates - outside of some new cosmetics for specific factions - have been completely free. However, it has kept the community alive and strong, much to the delight of Saber Interactive, the game's developer.

Of course, despite all the amazing content that's already been added, players are eager to know what will be added to Space Marine 2 in 2025. Fortunately, Saber Interactive has outlined a lot of the features, and when players can roughly expect to get them. Naturally, those curious to know not only when the next update will drop, but what it will include, will be very happy.

Space Marine 2 Will Get New Content Every 2 Months

It Has Already Had So Many Impressive Updates

Saber Interactive recently posted an update about Space Marine 2's 2025 roap via a lengthy breakdown of all the features on Focus Entertainment's website. In this update, the developer explained that a lot is coming to Space Marine 2 over the coming months, and offered a more up-to-date roap image detailing all the new features fans can get excited about. However, most importantly, Saber Interactive also confirmed that new major updates for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be roughly two months apart from one another, explaining:

Space Marine 2 has been out for 4 months, and your continued enthusiasm means the world to us. We’re not done with it! You can expect updates every two months. We’d love to do more, but we’re committed to delivering polished updates, which takes time and care! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering .

This is largely in keeping with its current release strategy, with Space Marine 2 receiving major updates within just its first four months. Saber Interactive initially had to work hard to iron out any major issues and implement some much-needed quality-of-life changes before it could begin introducing new features. However, thanks to Space Marine 2's impressive sales numbers, it is able to push out significant updates at a steady pace to ensure that the community doesn't drop off any time soon.

In that aforementioned post, Saber Interactive laid out all the content coming to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in 2025. While it will undoubtedly release smaller patches that address Space Marine 2's weapon balancing among other quality-of-life changes, these significant content drops will serve as the developer's continued efforts to keep the game as active as possible. This includes more modes, new skins, weapons, and enemy types, as well as missions for the Operations mode. Here is everything that's coming in 2025:

Of course, all of this will help improve the amazing Space Marine 2 experience, while ensuring that the community is respected, something that has evidentially been at the heart of Saber Interactive's strategy and the game's long-term success.

Is Two Months Enough To Keep Space Marine 2 Players Happy?

It Is A Reasonable Turn Around

Some may feel that two months between major releases is a long time, especially as while the Operations mode is infinitely replayable, and the PvP mode is becoming increasingly more fleshed out, there are only so many unlockables to work towards before progression becomes redundant. However, while for some it may feel like an eternity, it is not only standard practice for a lot of live service games, especially those with Space Marine 2's budget, but it also ensures that Saber Interactive has enough time to make sure every update is up to a high standard.
