“They can still pull a Suicide Squad”: Despite Promising Trailers, Some Space Marine 2 Fans Fear It’s Another Potential Rocksteady Moment Waiting to Happen
Space Marine 2 is coming out later this year, on September 9. The game has gathered a significant amount of hype from fans of the franchise, as it promises to be the next great Warhammer 40K adventure. But despite the hype for the game, fans remain cautious in light of recent game releases.
There are far too many examples at this point of games that had ambitious ideas and a big IP only for it to fail. Fans worry that it could follow in the footsteps of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the latest example of this.

But the replies do bring up the valid point of being afraid that it will be another case of a big, ambitious project falling flat and flopping.

In recent years, the gaming world has seen somewhat of a decline in AAA titles delivering up to their promises. The original Space Marine is beloved by many Warhammer fans and 12 years later, fans are hoping the sequel delivers once more.

Fans discussed their thoughts on the preview in a r/Games post. The general consensus is that the game looks like it has a lot of potential, but fans also need to be careful in their anticipation.

Amongst the many features that the game will have, one that has been promised is the presence of a PvE gamemode that will allegedly challenge games like Helldivers 2.

So, if the game does end up having a live service element after its launch, fans can hopefully expect to see new races and factions added. As the release day for the game approaches, the community is cautiously optimistic about the game’s eventual release and reception.
