Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have officially revealed their plans for the second year of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The new roadmap covers updates from Patch 10 through Patch 15, offering both free content and optional paid cosmetics that stretch well into mid-2026.
The cycle begins with the Anniversary Update on September 4, 2025. This is shaping up to be the game’s biggest patch so far, adding a new PvE mission, a PvE mode called Stratagems, and the Helbrute Onslaught PvP mode where players can control a massive Helbrute. The update also brings three new weapons, the Power Axe, Pyreblaster, and Xenophase Blade, along with the Chaos Spawn as a new enemy type.
Beyond that, the updates continue steadily. Patch 11 introduces another PvE mission and refinements, while early 2026 marks a major addition with Patch 12. That is when the Techmarine class will arrive, a fan-favorite from the Warhammer 40,000 universe known for repairing machines and bringing unique weapons into battle. The same update will also include the Omnissiah Axe and the Battle-Barge expansion, suggesting larger-scale gameplay updates.
Patch 13 adds the Terminus enemy alongside a progression system update in Q2 2026. Patch 14 builds on competitive play with two new PvP arenas and more Stratagem rewards. Finally, Patch 15 rounds off the roadmap with a new Siege map, ensuring players have fresh challenges well into the second year.
Alongside all this free content, Saber is also launching a new paid Season Pass starting with the Anniversary Update. It focuses entirely on cosmetics and will feature nine DLC packs, each themed around different Space Marine Chapters. The first two are the Black Templars Champion Pack and the Imperial Fists Cosmetic Pack, both offering skins, armor variations, and heraldry to customize your characters.
All in all, this roadmap underlines Saber Interactive’s commitment to supporting Space Marine 2 for the long haul. By mixing consistent free updates with optional cosmetics, the game is positioned to stay active and engaging for its community well into 2026.
