The Saber Interactive-developed Space Marine 2 launched in early September 2024, which means it hit the 7 million copies sold mark in just over nine months. Space Marine 2 was an instant hit, selling 4.5 million in just over a month.

But given the huge sales you can see why the project was greenlit so soon. "Space Marine 2 has proven to be a transformative game for Saber," Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, said at the time. "It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business. We are now starting to develop Space Marine 3, a game that carries with it tremendous expectations from our rapidly expanding fanbase.

We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe." Still, Focus and Saber had to put out a statement reassuring players of its commitment to Space Marine 2, which is still working through its year one roadmap of content. Without spoiling the Space Marine 2 campaign, it strongly suggests a continuation ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2-fans-have-a-good-idea-which-enemy-faction-theyll-fight-in-space-marine-3'][U]IGN has reported on the enemy faction we’ll probably see in Space Marine 3[/U][/URL]).
