“The ‘Horde Mode’ release date and its actual in-game name will be announced at [redacted],” developer Saber Interactive teases.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 is in development at Saber Interactive, but the developer still has plenty in the pipeline for Space Marine 2 where further post-launch content is concerned. Horde Mode was confirmed not too long ago, and the developer has now teased out some more details.

Over on Focus Entertainment’s official forums, Saber Interactive has revealed brief new tidbits about the three-player co-op PvE mode, which will be added to the game with Patch 8. As you’d expect from any horde mode, players will face off against increasingly difficult waves of enemies – which, of course, fits the Space Marine 2 gameplay loop perfectly – with the action set on the forest world of Kadaku.

“Today we would like to tease you a bit more about what it is going to be like,” Saber wrote. “First of all, you will be able to play up to three players (or with 2 bots, just like in regular PvE) and you will get to fight waves of both Tyranids and Chaos. Difficulty will increase for each wave defeated, so you’ll have to prepare yourself accordingly to vaporize as many waves as you can. Also, your class and weapon levels will be based on your PvE levels.”

As for when the mode will be dated and fully detailed? A specific answer hasn’t yet been confirmed, but Saber seems to be teasing things for the near future. The developer wrote, “The ‘Horde Mode’ release date and its actual in-game name will be announced at [redacted]…”

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
