After Space Marine 2 hit the shelves and pretty much wowed everyone—like, seriously, critics and casual gamers alike—you’d think no one would be shocked that the Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is coming next. Yeah, they just announced it at the Warhammer Skulls event. Classic.
So, here’s the scoop: SEGA and Sneakybox are behind this one. Sneakybox, if you don’t know, has been jazzing things up with some nice modern touches—think 4K visuals, new controls, spiffier models, and audio that doesn’t sound like it’s from a tin can. But wait, here’s where it gets kind of philosophical! In their press release, there’s this dude, Vaidas Mikelskas, from Sneakybox who says it’s “a thoughtful restoration” more than a straight-up technical upgrade. Deep, right?
And get this, they’re bringing back all those old modes you loved. Yup, the campaign plus the PvE and PvP multiplayer—I mean, who doesn’t love a good old PvP face-off? But there’s a twist worth noting: the Orks! Oh man, these guys got a makeover. New models and over 100 new voice lines. Amazing, huh? Especially if Warboss Grimskull keeps spouting his awesome one-liners. Those always cracked me up.
Anyway, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine has been a staple for years. I’ve got this friend who swears it changed his life, I kid you not. And here we are, in this renaissance of Space Marine and Warhammer 40K obsession, it seems only natural to slap a fresh coat of paint on the classic, right? Plus, it’s not like they’re charging a small fortune for it. Price tag says €39.99, or whatever that translates to in your neck of the woods. And if you’re a Game Pass junkie, you’re golden—basically free with the sub. How sweet is that?
Thinking of diving into this gem again? Or for the first time? Hit me up in the comments, I’m curious!
