Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have published early 7.0 update patch notes, while teasing the long-awaited Horde mode.In a community post, the companies said the 7.0 update is in the works and a release date is coming. But it also outlined several awaited features itll bring:Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Update 7.0:One Chapter PackOne Champion PackPrivate PvP lobbiesA new weapon (only in PvE for now)New OperationWeapon perks rebalanceClass weapon loadouts reworkPvE Prestige RankThe PvE Prestige Rank is perhaps of most interest to veteran players of Space Marine 2 looking for a new challenge or goal to work towards. Heres how it works: once you reach level 25 on a class, you can buy a Prestige Level that will unlock a unique Prestige Perk.Choose them wisely, Focus and Saber said, because you wont be able to change your selected Prestige Perks before unlocking the four Prestige Levels. On top of that power boost, each class will have a unique cosmetic reward that emphasizes the class iconic armour part.Space Marine 2 will get Public Test Servers (PTS) on Steam only in March before Patch 7 comes out. This will give fans early access to the upcoming features and the chance to share feedback so the developers can refine the content ahead of launch.Meanwhile, Focus and Saber teased the upcoming launch of Horde mode, a feature Space Marine 2 players have been looking forward to ever since the game came out last year.Youre very eager to get more info on the Horde Mode, its one of our top priorities right now, Focus and Saber said.One thing we can say is that it will be very different from the Space Marine 1 Horde Mode, and that there are surprises we cant wait for you to find out about.Once we get really interesting things to show you about it, we will do it!Bear with us.In the same post, Focus and Saber also stamped out live service game talk amid a backlash to 'FOMO' Community Events. Last month, Focus and Saber addressed growing frustration over a lack of content and outlined what players can expect from Space Marine 2 in the coming months.Space Marine 2 enjoyed a record-breaking launch late last year, eventually shifting 5 million copies while becoming the fastest-selling Warhammer video game of all time.Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
