A pre-release dev build of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has leaked online and is fully playable.

• Source is unknown. It was just randomly posted on a tracker.
• Dated 20/06/24 ~75GB in size
• Includes server binaries (Even a linux one) so you can play with friends
• It is a dev build so it includes a debug exe and a dev playground

It’s not entirely clear how the build was leaked, but according to those familiar with the leak, it “was randomly posted on a tracker.” According to those who have been playing the build, it’s around 75GB in size and is fully playable, apart from some missing strings and placeholder assets. The leak also includes server binaries, meaning people can play with friends if they obtain access.

Strongly advise you not to download the game due to the risks of hidden malware, etc.

Gameplay footage of the game has also started to appear online. You can see some footage below (warning spoilers).

Oh fuck, oh shit! Huge if true!

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

What the fuck lol.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Damn that sucks. No interest in watching footage until I’m ready to buy.

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn that looks good!

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Look dope and cape physics are good, day 1.

 

[kittoo]

Damn thats very sad for the devs who worked so hard on it. By all accounts it looks like a passion project and an amazing game.
I will support and buy this game. Maybe even more so now. We anyway get so few of such single player games now.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

That looks very very good indeed. It's a shame that it leaked, however, what I saw was good enough to get me buying on day one. Hopefully others felt the same after seeing that awesome footage.

 

[Badlucktroll]

look like cool gaem

 

[Kadve]

Framerate looks highly off but yea its a dev build, to be expected.

Could have asked for some more colors myself though.

 

[Arsic]

I didn’t want to look at the footage but still remains a day one unless all reviews say performance is trash.

 

[Mercador]

I didn’t want to look at the footage but still remains a day one unless all reviews say performance is trash.

I've just watch small bits and the framerate was a bit unstable. It might be debug logging in the background but I doubt it.

 

[anthony2690]

Hopefully this doesn't negatively impact sales too much :/

This really sucks for all the Devs working on the game, looking forward to this myself.

Hopefully the game doesn't get spoiled before launch too.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Bro, that footage looks legit good for a dev build. I might have to hop on the Space Marine 2 hype train.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Really hope folks support the game, especially now. Sucks to see this.

 

[Represent.]

G O T fucking Y

Day 1 purchase.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Looks great!

Going to be a solid 60 on PS5…..right……RIGHT?

Spoiler

 

[Pop]

That looks fucking great

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Might be a day one for me now, but I hope this doesn't lead to any arbitrary code execution or other hacks.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Did the leaker (or the person who posted the vid) say what specs was the PC running it?

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Wasn't super interested, but now I am. That looks good. Like the original GoW vibes

 

[PSYGN]

Wasn't super interested, but now I am. That looks good. Like the original GoW vibes

Same.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

wait a minute... I thought this was one of those weird ass nerdy PC games, but it looks like a real game for real gamers.

 

[baphomet]

That looks sick.

Thankfully release date isn't super far away.

12 hour game

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Beta Has Been Canned; Campaign Length Is Around 12 Hours

Saber Interactive revealed the campaign length of Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2. They also announced that there won't be an online beta.

wccftech.com

Sucks that it got leaked though.

 

[Hugare]

Watched the gameplay, and I dont see whats all the fuss about. Doesnt look satisfying just killing hordes of mindless enemies while finishing some pedestrian objectives.

Seems like its being made by the World War Z guys, and it makes total sense, tons of similarities.

Sucks that it got leaked

 

[AJUMP23]

How does someone steal a whole unreleased game.

 

[Gordon Freeman]

Link to build?

 

[*Nightwing]

How does someone steal a whole unreleased game.

When the executive administration continues to fuck up and make the wrong decisions continuously like GamesWorkshop has, employees rightfully take matters into their own hands.


And lose thie jobs and careers in the process but such is life.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

As bad as this is it has guaranteed my purchase.

Game looks great.

 

[Atrus]

I was set to buy it on launch so… I’m not watching anything.

Good heads up there might be spoilers floating around now.

 

[ReyBrujo]

rightfully

Not really.

 

[STARSBarry]

I've just watch small bits and the framerate was a bit unstable. It might be debug logging in the background but I doubt it.

I mean there won't be drivers for it yet, so graphics cards will naturally have more issues than it will at launch even outside of the fact it's a dev build.

 

[Apocryphon]

I didn’t want to look at the footage but still remains a day one unless all reviews say performance is trash.

I watched it for you and holy fuck am I in for this. Day 1 at full fucking price!!

 

[j0hnnix]

I'm ready for this

 

[Thief1987]

Combat and gameplay in general look disgustingly dull. But there are tons of blood so yay!

 

[March Climber]

Wasn't super interested, but now I am. That looks good. Like the original GoW vibes

Same.

And this is exactly what I was hoping for, for Gears fans to finally give this series the attention it deserves.

 

[adamsapple]

Sucks for the developers. Game looks mad fun.

 

[saintjules]

It's like the gore and dark, industrial environment from the new Doom series meets Gears. I'm in.

 

[Hero_Select]

Damn this really sucks for the developers. But the games insanely fun and I look forward to the release

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

a big part of me hates when this happens..

 

[fatmarco]

Apart from the performance that looks very fun.

I was worried this game was all fakery but it looks like its actually functional even in this early build. A lot of its animations etc. are very slick and very AAA.

 

[Salz01]

Welp… I preordered based off the cli…..

 

[Ribi]

So it's gears of war?

Link to build?

Managed to find this:

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Less than 2 months before release, damn. This game was and is make or break for Saber as a company as they've plenty of other projects in the works.

 

[K.N.W.]

I think the game might be daleyed since server binaries are out: unless they change the netcode, with those binaries, hackers might hack other players.

 

[March Climber]

I can’t tell if you’re not liking the 12 hour game length or Hrk69 ’s post, but I wouldn’t wish a 40 hour Gears of War-style campaign on anyone.

That sounds exhaustively long for the type of experiences that these types of games offer.
