Saber Interactive has cancelled the public beta test for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in order to “prepare for the full launch”.
Citing that running a beta now “would take the development teams away from preparing for the full launch”, the team acknowledged “this is disappointing news for some of you”, and offered the limited Bolt Pistol skin as compensation to those who’d signed up to participate.
“Space Marine 2 is almost ready,” the team said via an update posted to Steam. “We are now entirely focused on optimisation, polish and fixing remaining issues ahead of launch on 9th September. This means we will not run a public online beta, as it would take the development teams away from preparing for the full launch, and our priority is to ensure the best possible experience at release.
