Following the highly successful Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, which has sold over 6 million copies, the original game is getting remastered for PC and Xbox. However, heresy is in the air because a PlayStation version is weirdly absent.
The new Master Crafted edition boasts 4k resolution, “modernised” controls, an interface overhaul that includes weapon wheels, improved character models and better audio.
It’ll launch on June 10th for PC and Xbox, and will be available on Game Pass straight away. That might explain the lack of a PlayStation version. Hopefully this means PlayStation owners will get the game after the exclusivity period ends. Hopefully.
The new edition will also contain all the extra DLC that was released for the game, and includes the original multiplayer with full cross-play between platforms.
“In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine you are captain Titus, a Space Marine of the Ultramarines chapter and a seasoned veteran of countless battles. A millions-strong Ork horde has invaded an Imperial forge world, one of the planet-sized factories where the war machines for humanity’s never-ending battle for survival are created. Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world. With an Imperial liberation fleet en-route, the Ultramarines are sent in to hold key locations until reinforcements arrive. Captain Titus and a squad of Ultramarine veterans use bolters and chainswords to take the fight to the enemies of mankind.”
