PARIS – Dec. 10, 2024 – Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have premiered a new trailer to celebrate the biggest content update yet for their blockbuster third-person action game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The “Obelisk” update delivers a new replayable map for the Operations (PvE) mode, a new Chaos enemy, a huge Dark Angels cosmetic pack for Season Pass owners, and a lot more, available today for all players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

A free new Operations map and a slew of cosmetics for Season Pass owners!

Today’s update takes players back to the burial world of Demerium with a new Operation titled “Obelisk,” available today to all Space Marine 2 players for free! In addition, players will now have to face the Tzaangor Enlightened and avoid its deadly, fast-paced attacks as it careens across the battlefield on its Disc of Tzeentch. Stay alert, as this new enemy will be found in every Operation (PvE) mission featuring the Thousand Sons from now on.

Season Pass owners also receive the Dark Angels Chapter Pack, which comes with a new Champion skin for the Bulwark class, three weapons skins for the Plasma Pistol, Auto Bolt Rifle and Power Sword, a new Storm Shield skin and over 40 unique cosmetics celebrating eight of the Dark Angels Successor Chapters.

PS5 Pro, FSR 3 and frame generation for DLSS are now available

On top of today’s gameplay additions, the “Obelisk” update comes with a number of tech improvements for console and PC players alike. PS5 Pro owners can now enjoy the grimdark atmosphere of the 41st millennium with increased maximum resolution at up to 60FPS in Performance Mode and 30 FPS in Quality Mode thanks to the PlayStation 5 Pro’s Spectral Super Resolution technology, allowing for upscaled 4K resolution. PC players can also now take full advantage of AMD’s FSR 3 and Nvidia’s DLSS3 with the addition of frame generation support.
