“We remain cautious,” stated the Games Workshop CEO. Despite the overwhelming success of Space Marine 2, the Warhammer franchise’s owners are wary of the volatile gaming industry, acknowledging that triumphs in the world of video games are never guaranteed.

The remarkable success of Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 can be attributed to its epic storyline, intense combat sequences, and the expansive universe it belongs to. Since its release in September 2024, the game has captivated millions of players. Although Saber Interactive’s PVE shooter still has room for updates and additional content, Games Workshop is already looking to the future and maintaining a cautious approach regarding the franchise’s next steps.

Following the triumph of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2, Games Workshop has been evaluating its position in the competitive gaming industry. In the company’s financial report, CEO Kevin Rountree emphasized that confidence in upcoming projects remains tempered by the unpredictable nature of the market. “Successes like these for Warhammer are not guaranteed in the gaming world. We’re actively searching for the next big thing while remaining cautious in our royalty income projections,” Rountree remarked (via GamesRadar). Against this backdrop, Games Workshop is committed to monitoring the industry closely and finding the next project capable of sustaining the momentum created by Space Marine 2.

Will Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Have a Sequel?

Rountree stressed the importance of working with the right development teams and noted that Saber Interactive appears to be a reliable partner. Reports suggest that the developers of Space Marine 2 are already exploring ideas for new narratives. According to the game’s director, pitches for a DLC or potential sequel have been proposed to the studio for approval. With over 4.5 million copies sold, continuing the series seems not only plausible but highly likely.
