Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 writer Focus Leisure has confirmed a December 10 launch date for the hotly anticipated Patch 5 and Darkish Angels Chapter Pack, and launched a new screenshot displaying one thing gamers haven’t seen in the sport but.
Focus has stated Patch 5 makes the not too long ago launched Neo-Volkite Pistol (the one gamers had been utilizing to recreate Ghostbusters) out there in PvP, provides a new PvE Operation referred to as Obelisk, the new Tzaangor Enlightened Majoris enemy, and the aforementioned Darkish Angels Chapter Pack, which incorporates a distinctive armor set and banner for the Bulwark Class.
In a (*5*), Focus launched 4 new screenshots (beneath) displaying off the new content material, however there’s one picture in explicit that’s set tongues wagging inside the neighborhood.
This picture, beneath, reveals a Blood Raven (the chapter created for Relic Leisure’s Daybreak of Warfare collection) holding what seems to be like a chalice in one hand and a pistol in the different, whereas staring down at a potential enemy. No matter it’s, the object is just not at present in the sport, a minimum of not in a type that may be held by the participant.
What may this chalice signify? Present theories embody a raid-style mechanic for the new Operation (maybe it must be held by a participant for a sure period of time). This may make sense in the context of what we learn about the Operation from Focus itself. As a reminder, right here’s what the writer has stated:
Referred to as Obelisk, you’ll be despatched to Demerium and your mission is to rotate a duplicate of the obelisk to disrupt the circulate of power defending the Aurora machine. This operation takes place in parallel to the remaining occasions of the marketing campaign.
To achieve the console management of the obelisk, you’ll must make it via a tomb plunged into darkness. To make your development even more durable, the Chaos forces see a new addition to their roster: the Tzaangor Enlightened, a new Majoris enemy! They are going to now seem in each PvE Operation with Chaos.
Maybe the chalice the Blood Raven is holding in the picture is used to gentle the strategy to the console, however that is purely hypothesis on my half. Both method, it seems to be like we’re seeing the Space Marine from the perspective of a downed enemy, which suggests it’s been obtained throughout a firefight or maybe even stolen from one thing.
December 10, by the method, can also be the launch date of Amazon’s Secret Stage anthology collection, which incorporates a Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 animation that acts as a sequel to the occasions of the sport. Try IGN’s Secret Stage evaluation for extra.
In September, Saber Chief Artistic Officer Tim Willits instructed IGN how the breakout success of Space Marine 2 had “modified all the things” for the firm. Eagle-eyed followers have noticed the Space Marine chapter now all-but confirmed to get a beauty pack after the Darkish Angels, too.
