Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are thrilled to welcome the third major content update for their 2024 blockbuster Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Titled “Datavault”, this update brings more free content and much-requested quality-of-life improvements to all players whilst granting Season Pass owners with evermore cosmetics to customise their Space Marines. Space Marine 2 is available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X!

New challenges and rewards await in the Datavault!

Directly accessible through the Armoury, today’s main addition comes in the form of the Datavault, a brand new Battle-Barge chamber where Tech-Priests collect and store intel on the many enemies of the Imperium. By completing Ordeals, players will accumulate Research Data that they’ll be able to trade for Requisition Points and new cosmetics like pauldron markings, weapon skins (Thunder Hammer, Auto Bolt Rifle) and even new armour pieces (breastplate, gauntlet).

A new map comes to PvP, and the Biovore invades Operations mode

With today’s update, Eternal War mode gets its first new PvP map since launch with the Necron-themed “Tomb” map”. Operations players, on the other hand, will need to keep an eye out for the new Tyranid Biovore, a devastating Majoris enemy able to deal damage both from afar and up close.

Season Pass brings the Raven Guard and Salamanders

In addition to the Datavault’s new challenges, Season Pass owners today receive the Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack and the Salamanders Champion Pack. The first comes with the iconic, fan-favourite Mark VI “Corvus” helmet and over 40 cosmetics to celebrate the Raven Guard Successor Chapters, whilst the latter brings a new Champion skin for the Sniper class and an exclusive Bolt Sniper Rifle skin.

“Absolute” Difficulty now available amidst huge QoL improvements

Besides its free and Season Pass content, the Datavault update also brings the sixth and final difficulty setting, aptly named “Absolute”, as well as significant quality-of-life features to PC and console players alike. These include the addition of an opt-in/opt-out Crossplay feature in PvP matches, an FOV slider on PC, a number of tweaks to class perks, and a “currency exchange” allowing players to trade their Armoury Data for rarer tiers or even Requisition Points! More details can be found in our official Datavault patch notes.
