Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 thrusts players into an exceedingly dire universe full of horrible things, from hideous daemons to the ever-present threat of alien xenos. Thankfully, the answer to most of these problems was found a very long time ago (in the setting), and developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have blessed us with a short trailer to explain.
Firing rounds of a ridiculous calibre, munitions from the Heavy Bolter hit with the concussive force of a cannonball, detonating like a grenade a heartbeat after impact, reducing most things known to the Imperium of Man to mush. With the hive-mind-controlled Tyranid swarm being the threat Ultramarine Lieutenant Demetrian Titus and company must contend with this time, that's a beautiful combo.
In another trailer, we see some of Space Marine 2's seriously impressive Tyranid swarms in action. We still think that what Days Gone managed with its unfortunately named Freakers was incredibly exciting, but the sheer number of xenos on the screen here is on another level, likely to put your PS5 through its paces.
