Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, a sequel to the original 2011 third-person shooter hack-n-slash game from Relic Entertainment that saw players suiting up as Demetrian Titus in a fight against the Orks and Forces of Chaos, has leaked months ahead of its official release for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 9, 2024, developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have confirmed. The companies shared the news in a tweet to players today, telling them to avoid what has been described as an “unfinished build” of the game, one that is said to be almost a year old.
Saber and Focus writes:
- “We are deeply touched by the overwhelming support we’ve received from our community following the leak of an old build of our upcoming game, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.”

- “Our unwavering commitment has been to deliver the best possible game for our players. This was the driving force behind our decision to spend more time on development and ensure we deliver the best experience we can.”
- “We’re asking everyone to avoid this unfinished build and to not spoil the game for those excited to experience it for the first time at launch. Space Marine 2 will release on September 9, and the best way to support our teams’ hard work is to play the game as they’ve always intended.”
