Saber Interactive clarified that development on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 will not interfere with ongoing content creation for the sequel, according to Creative Director Oliver Hollis-Leick, speaking on a Warhammer Plus streaming program. The studio anticipates roughly four years to complete the third installment, mirroring the production timeline for Space Marine 2, which could place the release around late 2028, barring complications.
The developer plans substantial additions to Space Marine 2 throughout the coming year, including a pair of cooperative missions, the Techmarine class with its Omnissiah Axe weapon, battle-barge expansion features, stratagems introducing battlefield modifiers, progression system updates, an additional Terminus adversary, dual competitive arenas, and multiplayer stratagems, plus a siege battlefield.
Hollis-Leick addressed the Necron discovery scene from Space Marine 2, noting that unearthing ancient alien technology beneath planetary surfaces fits naturally within the franchise setting. He declined to confirm whether the extraterrestrial race would feature prominently in future releases while acknowledging connections between the discovered Blackstone-adjacent artifacts and Necron origins.
