Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is now preparing to wrap up the first half of 2025 and look to a future which looks bright despite Space Marine 3’s surprising announcement. Now, we’re all waiting for the next major update, Patch 8, which might include the long-anticipated Horde mode.
With Update 7.0 (as well as the 7.1 hotfix) in the can, Saber has turned its full attention to the next major patch, which isn’t fully detailed yet. An April Community Update should be imminent, however, so maybe news on the Horde mode and new content (as well as the usual premium cosmetics) are finally around the corner.
There’s also talk of an all-new class coming to the game, with many fans theorizing it might be the medic-like Apothecary or a Techmarine, yet it seems Focus and Saber and keeping some secrets away from leakers and dataminers, promising there’s much more to come to Space Marine 2’s gory PvE and PvP battlefields.
Space Marine 2 Patch 8.0 Release Date
Update 8.0 hasn’t been dated yet, but we know it should arrive before the end of Q2 2025 unless major delays have affected Saber’s roadmap for the game. The new community update will shed more light on the most immediate plans for the game, and we’ll be updating this article with the latest news as soon as they come.
Space Marine 2 Patch 8.0 Content
Specifics about the new content coming in Update 8.0 haven’t been shared yet, but the March Community Update included an encouraging mention of new melee weapons, classes, and operations coming to the game in the future… alongside more surprises. Space Marine 2 was a massive success, so chances are the initial roadmap plans changed for the better, and it shouldn’t be long before we can learn about what Update 8 as well as the second half of 2025 have in store for us. Our biggest hope is the Horde Mode will be part of this next update.
In any case, players should expect more Tyranid and Chaos enemies to shoot and tear through, plenty of new PvP maps and new PvE missions, and extra tools of destruction, some of them attached to surprising classes that could be the spiciest additions to the game yet. Right now, there’s no end to the post-launch support of Space Marine 2 in sight, so don’t let the xenos catch their breath, brothers.
