There’s no doubt thatWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 2is a major hit, breaking records and presenting itself as the most popular title in the franchise to date. Developer Saber Interactive is well aware of this fact and is already working hard to solidify the game’s reputation by promising new updates and content.
Saber Interactive’s commitment to its player base is quite incredible; the developers have constantly been responding to players and providing open communication, which is quite an anomaly in the current gaming industry. However, Saber’s boss might’ve taken things too far by taking a jab at the greatest game of all time,Halo: Combat Evolved.
Space Marine 2Boss’s Comments on the Most Legendary Xbox Shooter
Recently, YouTuber Asmongoldposteda video reacting to another YouTube video titled“Space Marine 2 is a reminder of what we lost”by LegendaryDrops, who discusses the story and tone of the newWarhammer 40ktitle. Asmongold’s reaction caught the attention of Saber Interactive’s CEO, Matthew Karch.

The comment stirred up controversy in the gaming communityas it talked about the current state of video games and stated that too many of them are crafted around“messaging or imposing morals on gamers.”
However, that’s not the only thing; many gamers believe that Saber’s boss also took a subtle jab at the iconicHalo: Combat Evolved. If you’re unaware, Saber was responsible for crafting various aspects of theCombat Evolvedremake.
I can’t even comprehend many of the current games that we play these days. They are too complex and too much of an investment. We worked on Halo back in the day, and that game could be distilled down to the simplest of shooting loops, but it was entirely addicting. That is what we wanted to recapture.
Well, no doubt labeling such an iconic game as“simplest of shooting loops”is straight up a crime, but Karch also acknowledges the contribution of the game for developingSpace Marine 2.
When Saber picked up a deal to develop theSpace Marinesequel, their goal right from the get-go was to craft a game that would be straightforward and enjoyable, much like the originalHaloshooters.
Haloallowed the studio to bring its vision into a reality, and he hopes that the same ideology will inspire a number of other developers to return to games that are fun and immersive rather than featuring complex narratives or messages.
Space Marine 2All Set to Get a Brand-New Update This Month
In a new communityupdateposted on the game’s official website and Steam store page, Saber Interactive has teased a number of additions coming to the game at the end of this month. These include a brand-new map for the title’s operations mode.
