Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is 25% off on Steam until January 27th. Released last year, the co-op horde shooter launched to a positive reception from fans and sold 4.5 million copies in just one month.
It is now the most-played Warhammer game in any genre to be launched on Steam. Saber Interactive's Chief Creative Officer Time Willits told IGN in an interview last year that it "Changes everything" for the company.
It made Warhammer license holder Games Workshop so much money that it accounted for the weighty slice of revenue (via PC Gamer) from licensing in the 2023/24 financial year. The company admitted in its half-yearly report that it has led to "more people coming into our Warhammer stores."
The company recognized that "successes like these for Warhammer are not a given in the world of video games." Games Workshop is already "looking for the next one," eager to "ensure Warhammer's place as one of the top fantasy IPs globally."

Last year, Willits told IGN that there were already ideas for Space Marine 3.
"I can confidently say that we will not disappoint our Warhammer fans in the future. It's too big of a success! I know that's an obvious thing to say, but hopefully we'll be working on Space Marine content for a long time,” said Willits.
