Warhammer fans have a big reason to celebrate today - Focus Entertainment, Saber Interactive, and Games Workshop have officially announced the beginning of development on Space Marine 3. Devs promise a host of innovations and even more spectacular clashes.

Space Marine 3 "love letter" to the Warhammer 40K universe

Space Marine 2 continues to attract player interest, and the developers clearly plan to capitalize on this momentum. John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, underlined in a statement posted on the publisher's website that the new installment will elevate the TPP action game genre to a new level, introducing even more spectacular battles on an unprecedented scale.

Meanwhile, Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, emphasized how important the second installment of Space Marine was for the studio:

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. […] We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe.

It's worth noting that the first installment of the first trailer for the sequel - so the release of Space Marine 3 may not be very far off.

Space Marine 2 still a priority

Although work on Space Marine 3 has already started, the developers are still focused on delivering new content for Space Marine 2. Soon, the game will receive a major 7.0 update, with its test servers going live today (allowing players to explore some of the new features). The developers' priority is also the horde mode, which is highly anticipated by fans.

We still have to wait for more information about Space Marine 3, but one thing is certain - "Your duty is not done."
