Focus Home nailed down the new September 2024 launch date last night at The Game Awards.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was supposed to be out by the end of 2023, but in November publisher Focus Home Interactive mashed the brakes hard, pushing it into the second half of 2024.

It’s still bad, though. In a brief teaser revealed at The Game Awards last night, Focus Home dropped a new release date of September 9, 2024. That’s enough time to gestate an entirely new human being, which makes it a significant delay in my books.
