While you can wrap up the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2<\/em> campaign<\/a> up in about twelve hours, but there are still Operations and Eternal War as game modes, and Saber Interactive is providing post-launch support for both. On Thursday, Saber announced the newest patch for Space Marine 2<\/em><\/a>, which includes ultrawide support, private lobbies, and a new sparring arena.<\/p>\n

In between co-op missions or 6v6 matches, players can hang out on the Battle Barge and admire each others\u2019 drip. The Sparring Arena lets players duke it out with all of their weapons and grenades, which I can assure you is very faithful to the novels<\/a>. For those who just want to play with a couple of pals, players can play through Operations in a private lobby and avoid matchmaking with randoms.<\/p>\n

The <\/em>Eternal War game mode in particular has proven popular; there\u2019s a healthy community of fans creating mismatched Space Marine sets and dubbing them Crayola Warriors, practicing the perfect sniping angles, and carefully choosing the perfect helmet for their Vanguard. I\u2019m also interested to see what Saber does with Operations. The developer shared a road map that included new Operations, game modes like Horde, and other content through 2025. <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

While Saber has not specified much about what the new Operations might entail, I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the details. I\u2019ve enjoyed playing a little Space Marine 2<\/em> with pals, and I\u2019ve enjoyed the co-op gameplay more than I expected.<\/p>\n

For now, fans can content themselves with ultrawide support. The patch also contains some tweaks to player customization; players can reset custom armor and color sets to default models instantly. In addition, some armor sets have been corrected to the chapter\u2019s proper color. The full patch notes, which include quality-of-life fixes, balance changes, and other tweaks, can be found on Space Marine 2<\/em>\u2019s Steam page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
