So a few days in the past Focus Leisure and Saber Interactive dropped their six-minute overview video of Warhammer 40K: Area Marine 2 and everyone was enjoying Shadow of the Erdtree. However having watched these six minutes just a few instances now, there may be positively a circle round September ninth right here at Readwrite Gaming Towers.
The video is narrated by Oliver Hollis-Leick, the Artistic Director of the challenge and he talks us via among the issues we are able to anticipate to do and certainly come up in opposition to when the follow-up to the 2011 recreation arrives.
So what did we study? Nicely, lower than two minutes in we have been getting excited by the devs distinctive “swarm know-how” which permits them to render tons of of enemies on display screen on the identical time, all of which will be blasted to bits. Traditionally when we’ve got seen this many enemies on display screen it finally ends up being like a stop-motion animation with body charges melting your GPU, however on the video a minimum of, this seems cool af.
“You’ll face seemingly countless waves of crawling, working, and swooping enemies so far as the attention can see.” Okay, we’re in. This seems cool.
I used to be really a fantastic enjoyer of final 12 months’s Warhammer 40K: Darktide and loads of this video made me assume fondly again to enjoying that and wishing it may have had among the issues we’re seeing right here.
With a Story Mode to finish after which a highly-replayable Co-Op Mode the place you’ll be able to play as any of six lessons which you’ll be able to then customise to the Area Marine of your goals. Fancy sniping? Certain. Wish to get extra into the thick of the motion, that’s straightforward too.
Enjoying alone or with as much as three others, there may be nothing in the intervening time that makes me assume this gained’t transform one in all my favourite video games of the 12 months.
There’s a lot extra within the video so I urge you to look at it after which wishlist the life out of it.
Warhammer 40K: Area Marine 2 arrives on September ninth on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Collection X/S
