It’s been months since the release ofWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 2, and the game has continued to grow as both Saber Interactive and the community explore the title. The title has managed to raise the bar for the entireWarhammer 40kfranchise.
Space Marine 2tells us a branching-off story from the original 2011 game. Saber Interactive wasn’t the mind behind the originalSpace Marine 1, as it was developed by Relic Entertainment. However, the studio isn’t afraid of giving it the remake treatment as long as it meets one special requirement.
Space Marine 2‘s success could lead to aSpace Marine 1remaster
Right before the release ofSpace Marine 2, Saber Interactive’s Creative Director, Oliver Hollis-Leick, sat down withPrankster101and opened up about the development ofSpace Marine 2. Hollis-Leick also talked about his love for the franchise and how he’s always been a fan of theWarhammer 40k.

Since it’s been more than a decade since the release ofSpace Marine 1, and even games suchas the originalRed Dead Redemptionhave been given the remake treatment, Hollis-Leick was asked if Saber would also give a remake to the original title. While he wasn’t sure if or when it would happen, he suggested it all comes down on demand.
In terms of a remaster? I don’t know about that right now. I mean, I’m not sure. I couldn’t answer it… It’s going to depend on demand and it’s going to depend on a lot of factors, but I don’t know about that right now.
Space Marine 2was one of the biggest success stories of 2024 andbrought millions of new players into theWarhammer 40kfranchise. As these players enjoyed the game, they also dived back to the originalSpace Marineto experience the battlefield where it all kicked off.
However, one playthrough of the original game will immediately make one realize that it’s in dire need of a remaster. While the game’s visuals and gameplay aren’t bad, it doesn’t hold up against modern-day day games.
Saber could take on the project and retain the title’s core features while upgrading graphics, controls, and enemy AI to bring them to modern standards.
Gamers have been demanding a remasterfor a while now, and it’s time for Saber to listen to the community.
