Despite the third game entering development, Saber Interactive is keen to make sure that players of the second game are not left behind. While Space Marine 3 starts its journey to release, Space Marine 2 will still be supported with a host of post-launch content.

The Emperor protects! Warhammer 40K fans, it appears you won't have to wait nearly as long for a new Space Marine game as you did for a sequel to the 2011 original. Games Workshop announced today that Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are working on a new installment in the series.

Space Marine 3 has started development. As confirmed by Focus Entertainment Publishing, Games Workshop, and Saber Interactive, work on the next instalment in the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has begun.
