Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 turned out to be a massive success when it launched last year. So much so that Saber Interactive's CCO Tim Willits said it "changes everything" for the company and that it's the fastest-selling game he had ever worked on (including the likes of Doom and Wolfenstein). Fans loved its Xbox 360 throwback style, and no wonder it was almost refreshing in its oldness.
Even if many of us were surprised how well the game did as a sequel to a then 12-year-old game, Saber Interactive's CEO, Matt Karch, knew things would probably work out. Speaking to Stephen Totilo at Game File (paywalled), Karch said, “I knew Space Marine was going to do well.” He was sure of this because, “I was betting on something that I played. I played it for over 300 hours."
