Helldivers 2 Fans May Be Jumping Ship After Space Marine 2’s PvE Trailer Looks Exactly What They Need
Arrowhead is certainly going to want to pull up its socks after watching Space Marine 2's explosive new PvE multiplayer gameplay showcase.
Arrowhead Game Studios may want to pay attention to a new threat that has emerged to Super Earth’s High Command. The announcement trailer for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 might be a cause of concern for the Helldivers 2 developer on account of a well-implemented PvE multiplayer mode that may see more than a few Helldivers defect to join up with the Space Marines.
The trailer showcases a single mission in which three Space Marines join forces to take on a terrifying Tyranid, a member of the alien race that threatens the Galaxy in Saber Interactive’s upcoming third-person shooter before slaughtering hordes of them in combat in what promises to be a very exciting mode for Warhammer 40K players.
Space Marine 2’s Multiplayer Mode Brims With Potential
The trailer below from the official Warhammer 40K YouTube channel puts the upcoming title’s combat mechanics front and center while simultaneously showcasing its excellent visuals and frenetic gameplay. The three Space Marines work very well together, wielding a variety of weapons to deal with the threat in front of them.
The entire fight is a thriller from start to finish, with the team taking on a massive boss before moving forward to deal with hordes of Tyranids – something that was promised during the game’s promotion.
Things come to a head when Titus manages to detonate a bomb that wipes out an entire army of Tyranids in the distance, bringing the encounter to a close before the trailer moves on to a PvP encounter.
Could Helldivers 2 Lose Its Throne to Space Marine 2?
The trailer has potentially given fans of third-person shooters a decision to make. Will they choose to continue fighting against the Terminids, alien-like insectoids in Helldivers 2, or the Tyranids, alien beings in Space Marine 2?
SUGGESTED: Arrowhead Comes Under Fire for Apparent Helldivers 2 Nerf Strategy
The answer to that question may have been more straightforward until Saber Interactive’s reveal of what promises to be an excellent alternative to Helldivers 2, which has been enduring a period of stagnancy with players pleading with Arrowhead for new content in the game.
Despite the release of the Escalation of Freedom update and a new Warbond, these additions may be too little too late for the studio considering that Space Marine 2 is generating a lot of hype among players eagerly waiting for its release – and not being afraid to express that on channels like Reddit.
The above response to Space Marine 2’s multiplayer mode is an echo of what was said about Helldivers 2 upon its release and shows how the game may have an edge over Arrowhead’s flagship title among fans of the Warhammer 40K franchise.
Although things may not be perfect for Space Marine 2’s multiplayer mode at the moment – as shown by the comment above – there is time for Saber Interactive to make adjustments based on player feedback in time for the game’s final release.
The studio will have to hurry as Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 inches ever closer to its release date and its fans would want the game to be at its best when they play it, considering how eagerly they have been looking forward to it.
