Following the critical and commercial success of Warhammer Space Marine 2, Focus Entertainment, Games Workshop, and Saber Interactive have announced the development of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 3. At this stage, no release date or platforms have been confirmed, but patience will be required as production is just beginning. Meanwhile, it is clear that the creators understand what players seek with this license, which has become a sort of Gears of War substitute that many anticipated. The public responded enthusiastically, with 2 million players within 24 hours and a simultaneous peak of 225,690 on Steam at launch. Player numbers continued to rise, reaching 6 million by January 2025. Note that these figures represent player count, not actual sales, though some estimates suggest sales will be equally impressive, prompting executives from all involved companies to speak out.
