Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment Announce Development of Space Marine 3, Praise the Emperor

Exciting news for Warhammer fans—Space Marine 3 is officially in the works at Saber Interactive, in partnership with Focus Entertainment. This eagerly awaited development was revealed on Focus Entertainment’s website, and for those following the series, it couldn’t come at a better time.

The previous game, a third-person action shooter, has reached a remarkable milestone, selling over five million copies to date. It’s safe to say it’s carved out a significant place in the expanding universe of 40k video games. Alongside the announcement, we’ve got some insights from industry leaders, John Bert, Deputy CEO of Focus Entertainment Publishing, and Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, sharing their thoughts and excitement.

John Bert expressed genuine gratitude for the incredible fan response to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. He emphasized that the journey isn’t over—there’s more thrilling content and updates lined up in the years ahead. Bert also mentioned that the team is excited to reveal Space Marine 3, which promises an immersive campaign, an engaging multiplayer experience, and groundbreaking features set to elevate the standards of third-person action games. Partnering closely with Games Workshop, the aim for this game is sky-high: nothing less than redefining the genre with jaw-dropping large-scale battles.

Meanwhile, Matthew Karch shared his perspective, describing Space Marine 2 as a pivotal project for Saber Interactive—a testament to their 25 years in game development. With Space Marine 3, there’s an exhilarating challenge and opportunity to meet the high expectations of a rapidly growing fanbase. They’re set on enriching the Space Marine universe, taking all their learned lessons to craft a bigger and more awe-inspiring game. Karch views this as a chance to create what might be considered a homage to the beloved Warhammer 40,000 universe.

The timing of this announcement is particularly intriguing given the current creative buzz around the Warhammer 40K intellectual property. With plans for an Amazon series featuring Henry Cavill, and a Warhammer 40k MMO being developed by Jackalyptic—despite some reported turbulence involving its parent company, NetEase Games—fans are sure to have their hands full with Warhammer content on multiple fronts.
