Space Marine 3 is in development at Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, it has been announced. This announcement comes from the Focus Entertainment official website.
This comes after the 3rd person action shooter has sold over five million copies to date, making it an exceptionally successful title in the growing 40k video game repertoire. Alongside this announcement comes some quotes from John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, and Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive.
John Bert: “”We have been honored by the incredible response from fans following the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. We will continue to support the game with exciting content and regular updates in the coming years. Today, we are thrilled to announce that the adventure will continue with Space Marine 3. Players can look forward to an immersive campaign, a multiplayer mode, and innovations that will redefine the standards of third-person action games. Developed in close collaboration with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 will take the genre to new heights by introducing large-scale battles that are even more spectacular”.
Karch: “Space Marine 2 has proven to be a transformative game for Saber. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business. We are now starting to develop Space Marine 3, a game that carries with it tremendous expectations from our rapidly expanding fanbase. While we will continue to support and grow the Space Marine 2 universe over the coming years, we will take all our learnings and apply them to an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment. We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe.”
So some exciting early teases for what to expect. This game has been announced at an especially great time for the Warhammer 40K IP, with an Amazon series still in the works with Henry Cavill as well as a Warhammer 40k MMO from Jackalyptic, though that studio is reportedly in turmoil due to a massive U-Turn by Netease Games, that owns the studio.
