Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has lifted the veil on Siege, its fresh interpretation of the iconic Horde mode. We've gotten our first look through an announcement trailer, screenshots, and preliminary gameplay details.

So I approached Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive, with some pressing questions - and received fascinating responses.
Siege Mode Deep Dive
Beyond exploring Siege mode's core mechanics, Willits confirmed players can summon a devastating Dreadnought during battles and explained the reasoning behind capping co-op at three participants. We also discussed the game's long-term roadmap, confirming plans for post-launch content extending beyond the first year.

The Siege mode offers intense wave-based combat where players must fortify positions against endless xenos onslaughts. Willits emphasized this isn't just mindless shooting - strategic base fortification and resource management play crucial roles. Team coordination becomes vital when facing increasingly dangerous enemy compositions.
Co-op Limitations and Future Content
When asked about the three-player co-op limit, Willits explained this design choice maintains optimal gameplay balance and technical performance. "We wanted every player to feel impactful," he noted, "while ensuring the game runs smoothly across all platforms."
Regarding post-launch plans, Saber confirmed multiple content drops throughout 2025, including new campaign chapters and multiplayer modes. The team remains committed to expanding the Space Marine 2 experience well beyond its September launch window.
