Space Marine 2 dev build has leaked. BEWARE.

[Nephaston]

Keep an eye out if you want to remain spoiler free. An early dev build that has the complete story but a few missing assets has entered the web. Youtube videos also started appearing.

This probably ought to be in the main Space Marine II thread, but here's the relevant article.

While I don't disagree, the thread has been basically dead and invisible, so I opened in news and rumours just so people actually get the information and get to at least try and avoid spoilers.

 

Talking of spoilers, the article itself also contains a spoiler right in the thumbnail, albeit a minor one.

[Joe]

The thread was shuffled out of News and Rumours despite the game not being out yet. I haven't had the time to needle one of the Moderati about it.

[Nephaston]

Same. Or rather I didn't wanna bother, just in case I had to argue the definition of "news". Either way, we gotta see how Focus, Saber, and GW will react now.

[Nephaston]

Update from Focus;

 

A year old build would also make the leaked gameplay not indicative of the final product.

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

A shame indeed. Hopefully it doesn't affect the sales and as many people as possible are able to avoid spoilers.

Were they the victim of a hack? Or an employee decided to be silly?

 

I won't click any links relating to the game at this point because I want to keep as free of info (besides "its good/its bad" as possible

We don't know. could be either, could be some good ol' social engineering.

Anyway, staying the everliving heresy away from that leak. I get annoyed enough when games come incomplete and full of bugs on their formal release that i can't fathom sullying my first playthrough with a year old dev build. Especially when we're weeks away?

Unless they can rework the fact you’re swinging a nerf bat with stagger mechanics when an opponent hits you, this is going to be a frustrating game. The Tyranid Warrior fight at the beginning was excruciatingly

painful to watch.

I did watch the intro level as I've generally been leery about pre-ordering thus far given Saber's previous games, however I was sufficiently sold on what I saw to dip in. They've definitely stepped up quite a bit.

 

Makes me considerably more positive for the KOTOR Remake now that they've taken that on.

Another small warning; If you have a reddit account and visibly interact with warhammer subreddits, you might want to turn off direct messages. A kind soul apparently got spoiled and now took it upon themselves to spoil anyone else.
