A Stellar Year Fuels Year 2 Expansion
Following the breakout success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which has surpassed 7 million copies sold since its September 2024 release, developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have confirmed a robust second year of support. Patch 10.0, set to launch this September as part of the game’s anniversary celebration, promises a major content update packed with new features.
Chaos PvP Mode and Helbrute Playable Debut
While Patch 9.0 will focus solely on balance changes due to a delay, Patch 10.0 will debut a new PvP mode that pits Chaos against Chaos. The new map and the inclusion of the Helbrute — a twisted, walking tank powered by a tortured Chaos Space Marine — will offer a fresh layer of strategy. Also teased are new Chaos armors, answering one of the community’s top requests for more customization.

New Weapon: Power Axe Slashes Into Action
Another highlight of Patch 10.0 is the introduction of the Power Axe melee weapon. With its own moveset and brutal execution animations, the Power Axe continues the developer’s trend of aligning in-game content with current Warhammer tabletop themes — notably the recent Space Wolves campaign. Datamines had hinted at its inclusion, and the community’s excitement has only grown following modder-led previews.
Techmarine Class Confirmed for PvE and PvP
Perhaps the most exciting reveal is the addition of the Techmarine class, which will be available across both PvE and PvP. Known for their mechanical prowess and allegiance to the Cult Mechanicus, Techmarines play a key role in the lore of the Warhammer universe. While no visuals have been released yet, the announcement confirms the class is well into development, backed by datamined references to shoulder-mounted weapon perks.
