Saber Interactive has pulled back the curtain on what’s coming next for Space Marine 2, and it’s not a small list.
The Year 2 roadmap includes six planned patches that stretch into 2026, mixing in a steady flow of free gameplay additions with a series of cosmetic DLCs for fans who want more ways to customize their Space Marines.
While many post-launch plans fizzle out over time, Saber seems to be leaning in. The focus here is clearly on keeping multiplayer alive, adding more content, and giving players new tools to work with whether that means a different loadout, a fresh PvP map, or another chapter-themed armor set.
What’s in Patch 10?
The first major update in this roadmap arrives on September 4. Labeled as Patch 10, it’s being positioned as the biggest so far, and the feature list supports that claim. You’ll find the following included in the free update:
- A new Chaos Spawn boss with three variants
- A new competitive map for PvP
- A new mode, Helbrute Onslaught, where players can pilot the Helbrute
- Three more weapons added to multiplayer
- A PvE map and mission designed around fighting Tyranids
- A Chaos Armour cosmetic set, available separately
Patch 10 also marks the start of Season Pass II, which kicks off with two cosmetic drops. One features the Black Templars, adding a new Champion skin and weapon cosmetic. The other focuses on the Imperial Fists, offering a large bundle of cosmetics across multiple Successor Chapters.
Season Pass II: More Chapters, More Skins
Over the course of Year 2, Season Pass II will add nine total cosmetic packs. These updates are centered around different Space Marine chapters, each bringing new visual options such as armor pieces, class-specific skins, and chapter insignias.
The roadmap confirms upcoming content for chapters like the Blood Angels, Salamanders, Raptors, Carcharodons, and Iron Hands. Patch 13 will introduce the Iron Hands as a fully supported chapter, timed alongside the release of a new class.
The Techmarine Class is Coming in 2026
One of the more substantial additions arrives in early 2026, when the Techmarine becomes a playable class. In Warhammer lore, Techmarines serve as both engineers and frontline support, wielding tools like the Omnissiah axe and heavy mechanical limbs.
That same idea is coming to Space Marine 2. Expect a hybrid role part support, part brawler suited for players who want flexibility over specialization. With the Techmarine comes more ways to structure team compositions, especially in tougher PvE content or class-restricted PvP setups.
Free Updates Extend Beyond Cosmetics
While the cosmetics are locked behind the Season Pass, all core gameplay additions are free. These include:
- Four new Operations missions
- One new Siege map
- Three new Eternal War arenas
- New Stratagems for PvE loadouts
- Weapon variants that expand current loadouts
- New enemy types and additional boss fights
- Progression system changes and unlock path tuning
- More content for the Helbrute Onslaught mode
Each update adds something concrete. None of the gameplay changes are paywalled, which should help maintain parity across the player base as new systems come online.
Support Continues, Even with Space Marine 3 in the Works
Even with Space Marine 3 already confirmed as in development, Saber isn’t moving away from Space Marine 2. This roadmap shows they’re still building on what’s there. Most of the effort is clearly going into multiplayer, with no mention of new story content or campaign chapters. For now, the campaign stands as it was at launch.
That said, multiplayer is still active. Updates have been consistent, and community feedback is being factored into ongoing changes including class tweaks, progression adjustments, and balance passes.
What to Know Before the Update Drops
Patch 10 rolls out on September 4 across all platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Everything listed under free content is available to all players. Season Pass II is paid and only affects cosmetic content.
If you want to follow patch notes, developer updates, or community feedback initiatives, Saber and Focus Entertainment are managing all of that through the Focus Together platform. It’s where future test features, rewards, and patch planning are posted.
For players still running missions, trying new builds, or simply waiting for more to drop this roadmap adds real value. Whether you’re chasing cosmetics, team-based modes, or just more gameplay variety, Year 2 looks like a solid stretch of content that will keep the game relevant without overcomplicating what works.
