Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Patch 7.0 Out Now, Includes New Boss Fight and Weapon

The update includes a new PvE mission that pits players against a fearsome new boss as they try and rescue a Tech-Priest.

Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have announced that a major new update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is out now on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The update, dubbed Trygon, brings with it a host of new content, including a new PvE mission that can be played solo or through co-op, as well as quality-of-life improvements and new cosmetic DLCs.

The new mission takes players back to Avarax, where they will have to take on a Trygon as a boss fight. The boss, according to the announcement, will make use of guerrilla tactics, and can go underground to pop up behind defensive lines. To help take on the boss, players will also have access to the new Inferno Pistol as a secondary weapon.

In the new mission, which is the ninth PvE mission part of the Operations mode in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, players are tasked with getting to an Adeptus Mechanicus facility where a Tech-Priest was last heard from refusing an order to withdraw. Players will have to fight their way through the facility and evaluate the status of the Tech-Priest.

The update also brings with it a host of new quality-of-life improvements, including the addition of Prestige Ranks and Prestige Rewards, reworked weapon perks, customisation options for the colour of cloth, tabards, and hoods, and custom PvP lobbies.

The new DLC added to the game as part of its season pass are the Space Wolves Chapter Pack, and the Imperial Fists Champion Pack. The first one brings with it a new Champion skin for the Vanguard class, weapon skins for the Chainsword, Bolt Carbine and Thunder Hammer, and more than 50 unique cosmetics from throughout the Space Wolves’ Great Companies.

The Imperial Fists Champion Pack includes a Champion skin for the Tactical class, along with a weapon skin for the Plasma Incinerator that also pays homage to the Sons of Dorn.

While content for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is being continuously developed, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive had also confirmed back in February that the next game in the franchise had also begun development. Appropriately titled Space Marine 3, the game will feature a new campaign, as well as new multiplayer modes.

In the meantime, the publisher has confirmed that work on Space Marine 2 is still continuing, and that post-launch content support for the title is “far” from over.
