Warhammer 40K: Area Marine 2 acquired a brand new trailer right this moment and it made me much more excited for this long-overdue sequel because the upcoming third-person shooter will characteristic co-op missions, PvP, upgradeable house marines, and extra.
Introduced in 2021, Area Marine 2 is the sequel to 2011’s incredible and considerably neglected Area Marine. I’m not an enormous Warhammer man in any respect, however even I had a blast with that first recreation because of its crunchy fight and concentrate on motion. It additionally had a bunch of Orks who shouted “house marine!” rather a lot in a cockney accent and that all the time made me giggle. Now, after a delay in 2023, Area Marine 2 is arriving in September with a complete lot of multiplayer goodness.
On Could 23, as a part of the Warhammer Skulls 2024 occasion, a brand new trailer for Area Marine 2 was launched showcasing the assorted methods you and your folks will have the ability to kill aliens collectively as large house marines later this yr. Whereas we already knew the recreation’s marketing campaign would assist co-op, this new trailer reveals that there can even be particular co-op missions designed for as much as three gamers and crammed with extra enemies and motion.
The trailer additionally gave us our first take a look at a 6v6 PvP mode that I’ll seemingly not play a lot, however I’m joyful it’s right here for the oldsters who wish to kill their fellow house marines.
Maybe probably the most intriguing and thrilling a part of the brand new Area Marine 2 trailer from Warhammer Skulls is the announcement of a full improve and customization system to your marine. If I needed to degree one large grievance in opposition to the primary Area Marine recreation, developed by Relic Leisure, it’s that its multiplayer modes felt tacked on and never absolutely fleshed out. This time round it appears developer Saber Interactive goes all out and making the multiplayer modes in Area Marine 2 larger and higher. And that sounds good to me!
Positive, there is perhaps too many Warhammer video games today, however I’ll gladly shut up and luxuriate in Area Marine 2 when it launches September 9, 2024, on Xbox Sequence X/S, PS5, and PC.
