Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have announced that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 is officially in development. The companies released a joint statement confirming the news yesterday, which is excellent for fans of the series hoping for a continuation.
The joint statement confirming that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 was in development didn’t offer too many details except the announcement, but Saber Interactive stated that the third game “promises an even more immersive experience, staying true to the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with intense, brutal, and spectacular gameplay.”
Focus Entertainment deputy CEO Jon Bert revealed that ongoing support for Space Marine 2 will still be the focus for now as the team enters the early development stages of the next game. “We have been honored by the incredible response from fans following the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2,” he said. “We will continue to support the game with exciting content and regular updates in the coming years.”
Bert added:
“Today, we are thrilled to announce that the adventure will continue with Space Marine 3. Players can look forward to an immersive campaign, a multiplayer mode, and innovations that will redefine the standards of third-person action games. Developed in close collaboration with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 will take the genre to new heights by introducing large-scale battles that are even more spectacular.”
Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch also chipped in, stating:
“Space Marine 2 has proven to be a transformative game for Saber. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business. We are now starting to develop Space Marine 3, a game that carries with it tremendous expectations from our rapidly expanding fanbase. While we will continue to support and grow the Space Marine 2 universe over the coming years, we will take all our learnings and apply them to an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment. We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe.”
Focus Entertainment announced back in October 2024 that Space Marine 2 had sold 4.5 million copies in one month, making it one of the highest-selling Warhammer 40,000 games to date.
