The headline reveal is that there’ll be a player-on-player multiplayer mode, similar to the team-based battles of the original, which pitted eight Space Marines across three different classes - Tactical, Devastator and Assault - against eight Chaos Space Marines with their own comparable specialisations. A wave-based co-op mode was added in a later piece of free DLC.

The apparent reveal of the PvP multiplayer joined teases of other elements of Space Marine 2, including a hub area for upgrading protagonist Lieutenant Titus and picking missions during its single-player andco-op campaign, plus some brief glimpses at the Tyranid and Chaos Space Marine enemies and bosses you’ll encounter - and the various weapons and vehicles you’ll be able to use to turn them into space jam (not that one).
