Anticipation continues to build around Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 as fans eagerly await its arrival, hoping it captures the intense, engaging gameplay of its predecessor. Central to its appeal is the campaign mode, designed for either solo play or co-operative team play. But many are wondering if the game will bring back the player versus player (PvP) multiplayer component that added so much depth to the original game.

While there hasn't been an official statement from Saber Interactive, Focus Entertainment, or Pullup Entertainment regarding PvP features, clues have emerged from an unexpected source. A recent video by YouTuber prdalien0, featuring content from the game’s official art book, suggests PvP will indeed return in Space Marine 2. According to details found in the art book, this mode will restrict players to Marine characters but offer several classes and customization options, including clan and banner designs.

Though these details are compelling, it’s wise to remain cautious until an official confirmation is issued. Still, the inclusion of such information in the game’s official art book lends weight to the claims, barring any significant alterations in development strategy.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is expected to launch on September 9 across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms, promising a blend of fierce combat and extensive multiplayer modes.
