Mathew Karch, Saber Interactive
“Space Marine 2 has proven to be a transformative game for Saber. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in the business. We are now starting to develop Space Marine 3, a game that carries with it tremendous expectations from our rapidly expanding fanbase. While we will continue to support and grow the Space Marine 2 universe over the coming years, we will take all our learnings and apply them to an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment. We view this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40.000 universe,” said Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive.
GO Thoughts on Space Marine 3
Having played through the campaign of Space Marine 2 and enjoying every moment of it, I am personally looking forward to this new installment. Saber shows their love of the grim dark by giving both weight and surprising depth to what is essentially a third person squad horde shooter. Even if you are a casual fan of science fiction and/or fantasy, check out this game. It scratches the itch of both single player and multiplayer fans alike. Hopefully the development timeframe is less than what it was between the first and second games. When we get a narrowed down release date keep an eye on The Gaming Outsider for more details!
