Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Is Getting A New, Long-Awaited Class Next Year

Here is a 180-word summary of the news article: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is set to receive a new playable class, the Techmarine, in early 2026 as part of the game's Year 2 content plan. The Techmarine will come with a unique Omnissiah Axe weapon and the ability to utilize ancient machinery, reflecting their role in the Warhammer lore. Beyond the Techmarine, the Year 2 roadmap includes several other free updates for Space Marine 2. These will bring new PvE missions, PvP arenas, a new Siege mode map, and progression system improvements. Cosmetic DLC packs for various Space Marine chapters will also be released alongside these updates. The game's first anniversary update on September 4th will introduce a new PvP mode where players can control a Helbrute, as well as additional weapons, enemies, and cosmetic content. Space Marine 2 has been a commercial success, selling 7 million copies, and developer Saber Interactive has already begun work on a third installment in the series. However, a recent remaster of the original Space Marine game has faced technical issues at launch.
