Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been delayed, and I'm sorry to say it's a big one. Instead of coming out near the end of this year as planned, Focus Entertainment said in an update that it's now slated for the second half of 2024. As usual, a reason for the delay wasn't provided, except that it will "provide the time needed to properly polish the game and to ensure the best possible experience."
It's not terribly surprising that Space Marine 2 is delayed, given that the 2023 release window is rapidly closing. But the length of the delay is a surprise, and maybe a little alarming too: Even if it arrives early in the second half of 2024, that's still July and that's an eight-month delay. At the longer end of the scale, Space Marine 2 could suddenly be a full year away. I'm not a game developer but that seems like an awfully long time to spend polishing.
