Space Marine 3 is Officially in Development - Warhammer Community 

 

Well folks, they've gone and done it. I'm a bit shocked considering the sequel hasn't even been out for a year at this point. Thoughts, opinions?

Hell yeah.

 

But not surprising giving the popularity of 2. And it will take years before 3 is done.

 

Depends if they use the same engine and a bunch of the same assets it might be quicker than we think.

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

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.

You’re shocked they’re rushing to take advantage of a high selling product by making a sequel shortly after in 2025?

Or maybe the twist is no CSM for PvP, but xenos like eldar or tau.

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 

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. 

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.

 

 

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.

Really hope they don't go with another "xenos main threat until chaos shows up again" would just make the story boring and predictable the 3rd time around 

 

 

Nah, instead they do the unexpected and start with Chaos before pivoting to a Xenos threat!

Guess that means 2 is going to see most of it's post launch dev power sapped

Considering that this was a crutch for Dawn of War before Space Marine, yes, I am well and truly over "it was Chaos all along". 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. :laugh:
