Redcomet Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hell yeah. But not surprising giving the popularity of 2. And it will take years before 3 is done.

darkhorse0607 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Not super surprising, but I do wonder how they're divvying up the teams between SM2, considering that isn't promised feature complete and won't be for some time, and SM3. Likely it's different teams or there's just a caretaker team on SM2, but still Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385490-space-marine-3-is-officially-in-development/#findComment-6099757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jscarlos18 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Nice. Maybe someday we will get a sequel to Fire Warrior too. Do you all think it will be like SM1 and SM2, where the enemies will begin with a Xenos faction and end the story with a Chaos faction?

grailkeeper Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I wonder if Chaos Space Marines will be the baddies again, and if so what faction? Given that Chaos Space Marines would be needed for PvP it seems likely. Maybe this time the twist is you start off fighting them, and then are attacked by Xenos? Might work with Necrons.

I feel like Necrons is a good shout especially after the necron tease in the game although that could be a DLC for SM2 I guess id honestly like it to just be Necrons and have SM VS SM in multiplayer it works great in Halo it doesn’t need to make sense it’s a video game and the whole chaos will arrive in the second half is getting played out now Inquisitor_Lensoven and Magos Takatus 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385490-space-marine-3-is-officially-in-development/#findComment-6099782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grailkeeper Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Given that the programming seems based around horde combat, Necrons mightnt be the best match up. We've already had orks and nids. Assuming they do something new maybe traitor guard/cultists? Any other Horde Armies out there? I suppose with the Ultramarine focus on logistics, there's always an outside chance it's just you filling out paper work.

Sothalor Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Bear in mind this is nothing more than an announcement that the parties are formally moving forwards with making the game happen. The project itself is most likely in the earliest preliminary phases of planning out and looking at internal scheduling and assignments. It's a different group doing this from those implementing post-launch product life cycle support content.

Ammonius Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I would be pretty happy if the next chapter in Titus's story pit him against Necrons, with elements of the Mechanicus as the Imperial liason/support/source of intrigue. Then, if in the Third or Fourth Act, Chaos takes over the plot, I would hope that either Titus rescues/ fights alongside Leandros, who has to say something nice, or perhaps at the outer edge of wishlisting, Leandros ends up possessed, after which nature takes its course. I also wonder if SM3 will have more elements of a "Live Service" or even "MMO" type game.

Xanthous Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Given that one of the bigger issues with SM2 was enemy variety, I wouldn't be surprised if they did more than two enemy factions.

I was hoping in SM2 that: Spoiler The Thousand Sons were going to get slapped down by the awakening Necrons as a plot twist for dabbling in something that should not be meddled with, but sadly that didn't happen. They just started messing about with the Necron tech and looked smug while doing so. Well, the one capable of looking smug, anyway, not the dust-in-a-can guys.
