When Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine launched in 2011, it stood apart from the cover-heavy shooters of its era. Where Gears of War and Mass Effect 3 had you crouched behind walls, Space Marine sent you charging into the fray with a chainsword in one hand and a bolt rifle in the other. It was messy, fast, and brutal in a way other shooters weren’t at the time.

The sequel, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, keeps that same energy but scales it way up. Developed by Saber Interactive, best known for World War Z, it is a third-person action game where you carve through endless Tyranid swarms, swap between six classes in replayable three-player missions, and test your skills in 6v6 PvP. Think God of War’s close combat mixed with World War Z’s swarms, only here you are a genetically engineered supersoldier in bright blue power armor.

Now Space Marine 2: Ultima Limited Edition is due Nov. 18 with some physical goodies and all DLC and season pass content released so far.

What’s inside the Ultima Limited Edition

The Ultima Limited Edition is the most complete version of the game available. It includes:

• Base game with campaign, co-op missions, and PvP

• SteelBook case with exclusive artwork

• Macragge’s Chosen DLC with an Ultramarines cosmetic pack that adds a chainsword skin, bolt rifle skin, and Crux Terminatus shoulder piece, all usable in campaign, operations, and multiplayer

• Season Pass 1 with a mix of cosmetic packs and champion packs:

  • Ultramarines Cosmetic Pack with over 30 items including heraldry decals, successor chapter markings like Novamarines and Praetors of Orpheus, unique helmets, and new paint colors

  • Dark Angels Chapter Pack with more than 40 items tied to the Dark Angels and their successors

  • Salamanders Champion Pack with a full-body power armor set for the Sniper class and a matching Bolt Sniper Rifle skin

  • Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack with heraldry and paint schemes

  • Imperial Fists Champion Pack with a Tactical class armor skin and weapon

  • Space Wolves Chapter Pack with successor heraldry and colors

  • Blood Angels Cosmetic Pack with heraldry and armor markings

  • White Scars Chapter Pack with chapter-specific decals and paint

• Season Pass 2 with more customization and champion packs:

  • Black Templars Champion Pack with full armor for the Bulwark class and a Power Sword skin

  • Imperial Fists Cosmetic Pack with more than 40 cosmetics across Imperial Fist successors

  • Ultramarines Champion Pack, a class-specific full armor set, coming after launch

  • Additional packs and chapters to be announced

In short, Chapter Packs focus on modular cosmetics like decals, paint colors, helmets, and greave markings, while Champion Packs deliver complete armor sets for one class plus a matching weapon.

Is Space Marine 2 newcomer friendly?

Warhammer 40k is famous for having decades of lore, thousands of pages of novels, and a tabletop game that can be overwhelming if you are not already a fan. The good news is that Space Marine 2 is designed to be approachable even if you know nothing about the setting.

The story follows Captain Titus of the Ultramarines, a character from the first game, and throws him into a clear fight against a terrifying alien swarm. You do not need to know the full history of the Imperium, the Horus Heresy, or the countless Space Marine chapters to enjoy the campaign. The focus is on action, spectacle, and survival rather than deep lore.

Who are the Tyranids?

The main villains in Space Marine 2 are the Tyranids. They are an alien hive species that exists only to consume. Imagine the xenomorphs from Alien mixed with the endless Zerg from Starcraft, then dial the scale up until they devour whole planets. They are not individuals but part of a collective hive mind that overwhelms enemies with sheer numbers. For a newcomer, all you really need to know is that they are terrifying, they never stop coming, and killing them in huge swarms is the core of the game.

For players who want to learn more, the game includes nods and references for fans of the wider universe, but it never requires you to read outside material to understand what is happening. At its core, the story is simple: you are a genetically engineered soldier defending humanity against alien monsters. That makes it an easy entry point for anyone curious about Warhammer without the homework.

What comes after launch

The Ultima Edition and base game release worldwide on Nov. 18, 2025. Focus Entertainment has already confirmed more content will follow:

• Ongoing Season Pass 2 drops with new Champion Packs and Chapter Packs

• Season 3 and Season 4 are planned but details are not yet announced

• Some packs may release on consoles first, with PC players getting them later

Should you preorder the Ultima Limited Edition?

If you only want to play the campaign, the standard edition will be enough. But if you plan to dive into co-op operations or PvP where customizing your Marine matters, the Ultima Edition is a strong value. It includes two full season passes and the Macragge’s Chosen DLC upfront, saving you from buying them separately later.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Ultima Limited Edition is available to preorder now for $99.99 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. It launches worldwide on Nov. 18, 2025.
