A pre-release developer build of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has leaked online, containing the full campaign and spoilers for the story. This comes two months ahead of the game’s official launch date of September 9th, 2024. Footage from the leaked build has been uploaded to video-sharing platforms, though copyright claims have removed some of the videos.
Saber Interactive, the developer, and Focus Entertainment, the publisher, have released a statement acknowledging the leak. They expressed disappointment that the leak spoils surprises they had planned for players experiencing the game for the first time. The companies emphasized that the leaked build is nearly a year old and doesn’t represent the final quality of the game.
This leak follows a period of delays for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Originally planned for a winter 2023 release, the launch date was pushed back to September 2024 in November 2023. Additionally, a public beta test planned for late June 2024 was canceled to allow developers more time for optimization, polishing, and addressing remaining issues before launch.
So, if you’re looking to avoid spoilers, you’re going to have to work really hard.
In their statement, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment urged fans to avoid the leaked build and not spoil the game for others who want to experience it fresh on release day. They reiterated their commitment to delivering the best possible game and requested players wait for the official release on September 9th to play the game as intended.
