Free Trial Invites Players into the Grimdark
Publisher Focus Entertainment has announced a limited-time free trial for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, running from October 16 to October 20, 2025. The offer is available across all platforms — PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam — allowing new players to experience nearly the full breadth of the acclaimed third-person action title.
Developed by Saber St. Petersburg, the game first launched on September 24, 2024, as a direct sequel to the 2011 original. The story follows Captain Titus, who returns to duty within the Imperium after spending two centuries in stasis, facing off against the galaxy’s countless horrors with signature bolter-and-chainsword brutality.
