Space Marine 2 adds ultra-wide support and a sparring arena in a new patch

In between co-op missions or 6v6 matches, players can hang out on the Battle Barge and admire each other’s drips. The Sparring Arena allows players to duke it out with all their weapons and grenades, which I can assure is very faithful to the novels. For those who just want to play with a few friends, Operations allows players to play in a private lobby and avoid matchmaking with random players.

The Eternal War game mode has proven particularly popular; there is a healthy community of fans who create mismatched Space Marine sets and call them Crayola Warriors, practicing the perfect sniper angles and carefully choosing the perfect helmet for their Vanguard. I’m also curious to see what Saber does with Operations. The developer shared a roadmap with new Operations, game modes such as Horde and other content until 2025.

While Saber hasn’t specified much about what the new Operations might entail, I’m looking forward to seeing the details. I enjoyed playing a little Space Marine 2 with friends, and I enjoyed the co-op gameplay more than I expected.

For now, fans can make do with ultra-wide support. The patch also includes some adjustments to player customization; players can instantly restore custom armor and color sets to the standard models. Additionally, some armor sets have been corrected to the correct chapter color. The full patch notes, including quality of life improvements, balance changes, and other tweaks, can be found at Space Marine 2‘s Steam page.
