Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Delayed Until 2024

Focus Entertainment has announced that Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2--the follow-up to the 2010 critically acclaimed team-based shooter--has been officially delayed until the "second half of 2024."

Focus made the announcement via a letter titled "Update on execution of the line-up and partnerships," which outlined the futures of multiple upcoming games. The letter also states that the new release date for the game will be announced "in early December."

Space Marine 2 had originally been slated for a "winter" release, which was announced during Summer Game Fest earlier this year. The game's latest update came in late August, with a trailer announcing an upcoming beta test that players could register for on the game's official website.

That "early December" timeline for a release date announcement lines up with The Game Awards, which are scheduled to take place on December 7. Space Marine 2 has featured prominently at the event in years past, with 2021 marking the game's official announcement trailer and last year featuring its first gameplay trailer.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is slated to launch for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
