Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, in addition to its lengthy single-player offering, comes fully equipped with some backup multiplayer modes as well. In a gore-soaked new trailer, we get a look at some of the multiplayer shenanigans you can dive into when the game drops from orbit onto PS5 on 9th September.

For fireteams of up to three players, PVE Operations Mode is cooperative content for players who want to fight with their battle brothers by their side, wading through enemies and boss encounters, tasked with completing various objectives. It's gritty, third-person shooter action that should appeal to fans of Gears of War, and we can confirm it feels as good to play as it looks.

For the ultimate test, there is Versus Mode: Eternal War, which is a more traditional PVP experience based around team-based classic objectives. Here, Space Marine 2's customisation options will come into play, and if you've fallen from the God-Emperor's light, you can even opt to play as Heretic Astartes. This 4v4 mode looks like it will be quite tactical, with a vast armoury of weapons and wargear for combatants to outfit themselves with.
