Cult Classic Shines Again: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition Launches June 10

Sure thing, here goes:

Space Marine 2. What a blast, right? Critics loved it, players loved it. So, seeing that they’ve announced the Space Marine Master Crafted Edition at the Warhammer Skulls event isn’t exactly helping my self-control. SEGA and Sneakybox are behind this one, and if you’re like me, seeing a company who’s also done magic with 4K, new controls, and whatnot makes you perk up a bit. But what got me was when Sneaky Box’s producer, Vaidas Mikelskas (cool name, right?), said it’s more like a “thoughtful restoration.” Whatever that means. I’m in.

Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, so this game’s like a do-over of the classic with its original juice – the campaign, the PvE, PvP madness – all still there. But here’s the kicker (at least for me): the Orks. They’re getting a little makeover. New models, more than 100 new voice lines! I mean, of course, this is fantastic, as long as my guy Warboss Grimskull keeps spitting out those killer one-liners. Can’t imagine him without them.

Now, why does this matter? Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine kinda carved its own little niche. It’s like, people have been loving it forever, and now with Warhammer 40K being all the rage, feels right to brush up the classic. And thankfully, if you’re as broke as I am (story of my life), you won’t need to fork out a fortune. It’s €39.99, or just hop onto Game Pass and save some coins.

Thinking about jumping into this remastered world? Or maybe you’re just curious and lurking. Either way, drop me a comment or something. Let’s chat.
