Although it's long been pencilled in for a 'winter 2023' release date, we don't think anyone was actually expecting Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 to launch anytime soon — not when things have been so quiet on that front. But then we also didn't expect it to be pushed all the way back into the second half of 2024 — and that's exactly what's happened.
"The game is now poised to ship in the second half of 2024, to provide the time needed to properly polish the game and to ensure the best possible experience," writes publisher Focus Entertainment. It also states that an "official launch date" will be revealed in early December — which probably makes it a lock for The Game Awards 2023.
It's a shame, because Space Marine 2 was looking great in fairly recent previews — but you can't argue against a delay when it comes to ensuring a game's quality.

That's a bummer, but good for them for delaying it instead of shipping a broken game. I really liked the first game, was surprising to play a Warhammer game that was actually great.
Loved the first game and i'm really looking forwards to this one. If they need more time to polish it then nobodys going to complain. If only other devs would take the time to actually release finished games instead of buggy,unfinished half arsed over priced betas..
Honestly with my never ending backlog and PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium to be getting on with, plus a few more new early releases next year I'm kinda glad it's being delayed and with it being delayed should end up a better video game
@Lyedecker not to be that guy but now a days its very common to delay and delay and then still release it as a broken mess
My backlog applauds this.
Take your time, kings. I'll be here when you're ready 😊❤️
Give me the game and my statue in great shape. My body is ready!!
So hope this games turns out to be well made. I really enjoyed the first game, so I have high hopes for the sequel. I'd rather they took the time to get it right, than rush a release that both impacts the developers through crunch and sees an inferior product in the hands of gamers.
I too have bought the statue, @TheCollector316. It's very expensive (and they've taken payment!) so I'd prefer it if the statue is not the only decent thing about the release...
I just hope that with this delay the game is actually polished since games keep getting delayed and still release all messed up
Bah I knew it, since it's November and we have no release date, "winter 2023" could not be feasible. The second half of 2024 is a huge delay though, but that's fine.
Take your time, Sabre, and knock it out of the park!
