Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Team Admits Its Story Was Limited By 3-Player Co-Op: ‘Compromises Were Made’

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive made a number of “compromises” with the shooter’s campaign in order to have it up and running in three-player co-op, its creative director has admitted. Speaking with GamesRadar+, Oliver Hollis-Leick conceded that the developer “could have done way more” had Titus not had supporting characters Gadriel and Charion stuck by him for the entirety of the campaign. “We would have more control over them going off and doing their own thing, and like even becoming a source of conflict during the mission,” he commented.Related Content — Upcoming PS5 Games 2024: The Best PS5 Games Coming SoonOne of the levels where we tried to do that, is where Chairon goes rogue on his own and gets separated from the rest of the squad. And that, that was us really trying to stretch that. So it felt like they were divided for a time, but, yeah, the closest we could get is for Gadriel and Titus to almost kill each other in a cinematic, and then, and then we’ve got to go back into battle again as a three man team. So yeah, the co-op thing makes that tough.Dmitriy Grigorenko, the game’s director, added: “I remember arguing with [Hollis-Leick] a lot, saying that there’s not enough time for our characters to talk about the plot, to argue with each other, because there’s stuff exploding in the background. Nobody’s going to listen to that – we have to be short!”Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched in September for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, and Saber Interactive has said that the game has done so well that it’s already thinking about DLC and a follow-up.[Source – GamesRadar]
