Check out how we test and review games here Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 modders broke players’ minds with the addition of a 12-player mode. As the modders work on adding MMO-like raids to the PC version of the game, Saber is continuing to work on more official content designed for three-player co-op. In a recent interview, Space Marine 2 developers acknowledged the existence of larger squad size mods. However, official content will continue to be designed for three-player squads on PC and console. Space Marine 2 devs won’t add bigger squads Speaking to IGN, Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits explained that Saber Interactive did experiment with slightly bigger four-player squads, but it made the game way too easy. “As we’ve mentioned in a past interview, sticking to three players for PvE game modes (including Siege Mode) has to do with the challenge we’re able to provide, and specifically, the enemies we’re able to throw at you and your friends,” the CCO explained. Unfortunately for players, Saber believes that adding larger squads would simply not offer enough challenge for players. With unlocks tied to progress as well, allowing players to simply stomp through Operations isn’t on the table. “Having four Space Marines together for a PvE mission simply made it too easy, and scaling enemy assaults to justify bringing a fourth player was too great of a challenge,” Willits explained. When asked if Saber would ever add larger squads to the game, the Saber CCO simply said: “we don’t have such plans at this time.” Maybe this is a project for the “bigger and better” Space Marine 3 that’s just entered development. Next month, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is receiving its very exciting Siege Mode, a brand-new take on Horde Mode that will see players fighting through hordes of Tyrannids and Chaos. More content, including brand-new Operations, is also on the way with dataminers discovering a slew of interesting new msisions. Additionally, while handled by a different developer, the original Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is returning in the form of the new Master Crafted Edition. This version of the game is coming to PC and Xbox next month with new character models, remastered audio, a functioning multiplayer and much more. Subscribe to our newsletters!
