Rest Assured, Space Marine 2 Won't Be Abandoned Due To Its Sequel

The continuation of a beloved franchise is undoubtedly great news for the community, but it does not seem completely so in the case of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. The announcement of the development of a sequel, Space Marine 3, just six months after the release of the second installment has some side effects — fans worry that support for Space Marine 2 might be decreasing. 

The sentiment is so strong among the community to the extent that the developer issued an update to assure the fans, making it crystal clear that Space Marine 2's development is far from being ended:

The rest of the announcement details the most anticipated update for Space Marine 2, Patch 7.0, which is coming in mid-April. This update, known as the Trygon Update, will bring new DLC content, including the Space Wolves Chapter Pack and the Imperial Fists Champion Pack. It also brings a new PvE map, Exfiltration, featuring the terrible Trygon as a boss enemy.

They're also working on bringing lots more new content and surprises in the upcoming months, including "a new class, more operations, melee weapons, and more." It's also teased that surprises that are not even spotted by dataminers are waiting.
