It’s not even been a month since the debut ofWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 2, but the team at Saber Interactive is already working on ideas for a potentialSpace Marine 3. The latestSpace Marine 2title has already proven to be one of the biggest hits to come from Games Workshop’s universe to date, so it’s no surprise Saber wants to capitalize on this momentum.
It’s currently unclear where this potential successor forSpace Marine 2could head. However, considering the massive universe ofWarhammer 40k, Saber could pick up one of the most iconic chapters and give it a full-fledged backstory in the upcoming title. Even Henry Cavill would absolutely love this one!
Space Marine 3Can Give us Blood Angels Backstory
Whilechattingwith IGN, Saber’s boss, Tim Willits, confirmed that the studio is already thinking about ways to developWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 3. According to him, the director ofSpace Marine 3, Dmitriy Grigorenko, has given some fresh ideas for a new story in the series.

ForSpace Marine 3, Saber would have to work once again with publisher Focus Entertainment and Games Workshop. While things still haven’t materialized, the developers clearly know about the potential of another entry in the massiveWarhammer 40k universe.
“Yes, yes, yes! There’s so many different factions… there are other chapters, too, that are interesting…”
Whatever Saber decides to go forward for the next game, it surely won’t be disappointing, considering their fantastic work withSpace Marine 2. However, what will truly help the next game set itself apart from the competitionwould be a focus on Henry Cavill’s favoritechapter, Blood Angels.
If you’re unaware, Blood Angels are a loyalistSpace Marinechapter in the 40k universe, who are known for their artistic nature and curse of the Red Thirst and Black Rage, pushing them to demolish everything that stands in their way on the battlefield.
Even though the Blood Angels have been featured inSpace Marine 2, they aren’t the center of focus. Saber can put together a third entry in the franchise that puts Blood Angels in the driving seat and explores this chapter’s backstory and heroic battles.
Even if the developers are planning to save Blood Angels forSpace Marine 2‘s DLCs, they can also go for Salamanders, as it’s another chapter loved by Cavill. Seriously, not adapting the legendary actor’s favorite chapters would be a major blunder, considering the momentum and success it could bring to the next title.
Space Marine 2is the Biggest Hit of The Year

The game is a massive step forward in terms of sound, graphics, and gameplay experience. On top of all that, thedevelopers are already working on tons of post-launch content additionsto the game.
With the game’s incredible success, a potential sequel in the making, and Cavill’s plans to get the franchise to the big screen, the future is looking bright forWarhammer 40k.
