Space Marine 2's Latest Update Secretly Added A New (But Unfinished) Feature

As a longtime Warhammer 40K enthusiast with decades of battles under my belt, I must say that the latest update for Space Marine 2 has me intrigued. The discovery of an unannounced feature, the Research Centre, is akin to stumbling upon a hidden Forge World in the Eye of Terror.

In the most recent update for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, a fresh Operation and adversary have been introduced as intended. However, it seems an incomplete aspect, referred to as the Research Centre, has accidentally been incorporated into Saber Interactive’s dark futuristic shooter as well.

I stumbled upon an exciting find on Reddit while scrolling through gaming threads – fellow Thousand Sons gamers have unearthed a fresh emblem for our faction! The game’s Heraldry Editor hints that this badge can be unlocked by conquering challenges within the Research Centre. With just a click of a button, we can instantly transport ourselves to the Research Centre’s user interface. Can’t wait to dive in and complete these challenges!

I don’t think we are meant to see these just yet…

The specific details about this unexpected addition to Space Marine 2 are being kept secret for now, but it seems that players might acquire models representing different factions – Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Tyranids, and Thousand Sons. This acquisition could be achieved by earning a new type of in-game currency. Once acquired, these models may not only serve as collectibles, but also unlock additional cosmetic rewards such as the currently accessible Thousand Sons emblem. Furthermore, it’s speculated that players might have the opportunity to closely examine these models for enhanced detail and appreciation.

It’s currently unclear how players can acquire this fresh currency for use at the Research Center, but Saber Interactive’s plan for Space Marine 2 suggests a “Battle Barge Expansion” as part of the game’s third season in 2025, along with a new Operation, a PvP mode, Prestige ranks, and additional features. It’s possible that the Research Center could be related to this Battle Barge Expansion, but fans will need to wait for Saber to confirm this detail to learn more.

Apart from introducing fresh material, Update 5 for Space Marine 2 also prohibited mod usage in public games to ensure server reliability. For space marine enthusiasts eager for more action, an episode of Amazon’s video series Secret Level (currently available) acts as a continuation of the game’s narrative.

Previously reported on Warhammer 40K updates: After a year-long discussion, Amazon and the intellectual property owner of Warhammer 40K, Games Workshop, have finalized their agreement on creative guidelines for Warhammer 40K TV series and movies. Now, the initial project under this partnership will move forward into complete development, as announced by Games Workshop themselves.
