There’s one thing within the water for video games that function troopers in blue armor, as a result of after Helldivers 2, developer Saber Interactive’s long-awaited Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is the newest massive hit of 2024.
It’s been such an excellent hit, that chatting with IGN, chief inventive officer Tim Willits spoke about how the success of Area Marine 2 will affect the way forward for the studio.
Principally, it’ll be constructive. Vastly constructive, and it’s additionally opened the door to a 3rd Area Marine recreation, and DLC for Area Marine 2.
“With Area Marine 2, it actually does change every part. Throughout our firm social gathering, I gave a little bit 30-second speech and I informed the entire crew, this modifications every part we do transferring ahead, from our small video games like our third-party publishing video games, to A Quiet Place subsequent month. We have now Poisonous Commando developing with Focus quickly. Every thing that we do now, this modifications.
And as workers, and I do know this firsthand, when you could have an enormous hit and you’ve got that web form of recognition, there’s extra ardour and there’s extra accountability for the standard that you just do. And also you have a look at your self by way of a distinct lens. And generally that success lens is usually a little harmful as a result of you then get so paranoid about ensuring every part is nice that you just overstress about issues, but it surely’s that success lens that actually drives superb video games into the long run. So I do imagine that by way of the success lens that we now have, we are going to simply make much better merchandise sooner or later.
Our recreation director Dmitry Grigorenko, he has proposed some story concepts that would both be DLC or a sequel. We’re actually simply catching our breath. That is two weeks out. We simply have to get the mud to settle. However I can confidently say that we’ll not disappoint our Warhammer followers sooner or later. It’s too massive of a hit! I do know that’s an apparent factor to say, however hopefully we’ll be engaged on Area Marine content material for a very long time.”
It’s thrilling to listen to how the success of Area Marine 2 is permitting Saber to do extra. Hopefully we’ll hear information about DLC quickly.
