A new update has been released addressing the issues with the Codex for some players.



The Repair Codex option in Preferences will unlock everything your save should have by the end of the current content. In order to avoid potential spoilers, please only use this option if you have problems with your Codex and you have already finished the latest content.

We also recommend using this option only with your save file loaded, this will ensure the Repair function be able to read your save and unlock entries appropriately based on your choices.

Let’s recap what occurred in February on Space Marine 2 a bit and then we’ll tackle future topics! We know you're eager for Patch 7 to drop! There's still a bit of a wait, but in the meantime, we'll be sure to tease you a little.


This month we released the 6.0 Datavault Update, containing new free and Season Pass content. You may check the entire changelog here! 📖

Mostly, the biggest features that were added to the game are:

• The Datavault, with new cosmetic rewards
  
• The Biovore
  
• New PvP Map “Tomb”
  
• Salamanders Champion Pack
  
• Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack including its Successor Chapters
  
• FOV Slider
  
• Perks rework

Following that, we released the 6.1 Hotfix to help with a few remaining bugs and connectivity issues, mostly. Again, you can read the patch notes here.
We are aware that with these two updates, a few issues remain, such as:

• FPS drops
  
• Too many spore mines spawning at the same time

We’re actively working on it.
Hotfix 6.2 will arrive next week. It shall fix the spore mines issue and bring some balancing tweaks.


We heard about your desire to have an emblem-less Mk VIII Errant Helmet, so here’s your chance! ✨ This cosmetic is entirely free, the only requirement is to link your PROS account to Space Marine 2.
Here’s your brief: “Achieve a victory with each of 6 classes in Operations Mode to win the emblem-less Mark VIII Errant Helmet”



The event lasts until March 3rd.


We have noted that the Community Events have received cold feedback since we introduced them as an additional way to unlock cosmetic items. We saw that many of you mentioned FOMO generated by the events. Rest assured, we are not looking to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live service game. The items available through events WILL be available later, for everyone. We want Community Events to be a way to unlock the items in advance, for the most dedicated players, and not to be a source of frustration and stress for everyone.

However, that means we must provide a smooth experience in unlocking said items, which has not been the case so far. We deeply apologize for the trouble, and are currently working on a simplified process to unlock the items, to make the experience less constraining.


The 7.0 Update is in the making! ✨ We’re working on it and we’ll give you a more precise date once we get one. 🙌

This update will bring several awaited features:

• One Chapter Pack
  
• One Champion Pack
  
• Private PvP lobbies
  
• A new weapon (only in PvE for now)
  
• New Operation
  
• Weapon perks rebalance
  
• Class weapon loadouts rework
  
• PvE Prestige Rank: once you reach level 25 on a class, you can buy a Prestige Level that will unlock a unique Prestige Perk. Choose them wisely, because you won’t be able to change your selected Prestige Perks before unlocking the 4 Prestige Levels. On top of that power boost, each class will have a unique cosmetic reward that emphasizes the class’ iconic armour part.
  
• and more!

Stay tuned, we’ll soon come with more info.




…..So apparently you’re waiting for the Horde Mode.

You’re very eager to get more info on the Horde Mode, it’s one of our top priorities right now.
One thing we can say is that it will be very different from the Space Marine 1 Horde Mode, and that there are surprises we can’t wait for you to find out about. 😉

Once we get really interesting things to show you about it, we will do it!

Bear with us 🙏


We’re also excited to share our goal to launch our Public Test Servers in just a few weeks! 🙌 Expect it to take place in March and before Patch 7.
Once we get a specific date, we’ll make an official statement on our socials and Discord!

This will give you early access to upcoming features and the opportunity to share your feedback, helping us refine the content before its official release.

It will exclusively happen on Steam, neither on EGS nor consoles. It will be very easy to install because it will act as a separate game.




Overall, we are quite happy with how intense the difficulty itself is. We see that it requires a lot of concentration and we feel like it’s fun in terms of how many enemies you have to face, how hard they hit you etc.

At the same time, we see some comments that it’s a bit easy. Yet on the other hand we don’t want to mess it up and would like to hear the voice of the community first.
Here is some data and context.

According to our stats, the average win rate on Absolute difficulty is ~60% (significantly higher than Lethal difficulty that sits at 50%), which seems a bit higher than we expected.
At the same time such high win rate is explained by three facts:

1. Absolute difficulty is locked for new users
   
2. Only ~12% of daily play time is spent on Absolute difficulty.
   
3. Only ~15% of weekly active players play at least 1 match on Absolute difficulty

This means that only a small portion of very hardcore and well-prepared players are playing the Absolute difficulty, and we must find a proper balance between wishes of the hardcore players and more casual players that simply want to have fun.

I will be completely honest; I think we are almost at our limit in terms of how we can make the game harder without making it unfair and not fun. We can’t significantly increase the number of enemies for performance and memory reasons. Greatly increasing enemy damage and hp will make it so players will die randomly and will make enemies bullet sponges, which will not be fun.

We do not want to implement a new difficulty, because that would split the matchmaking pool even more. We have to stick to the existing 6 difficulties.

The proper way of doing this would be implementing a set of gameplay modifiers (i.e. tight formation gameplay modifiers that we’ve tried to release earlier), combination of which would make each challenge unique. And I’m happy to announce that we are already working on the system, however this will take some time.”


Would you like to see Dual Terminus enemies and more Terminus enemies in general on Absolute difficulty?

We can make it so there will be way more Terminus enemies on a level, potentially 2 at the same time. Plus we can lift restriction that prevents Terminus enemies from spawning on levels that have final bosses (i.e Hive Tyrant)

Vote here

Shall we slightly increase enemy health and damage on Absolute difficulty?

Some of the builds can break health thresholds and start one-shotting enemies. We are only talking about small health and damage tweaks that should not cause enemies to become bullet sponges.

Vote here

Would it be better to have more limited ammo refills on Absolute difficulty?

Vote here

Do you want even more aggressive enemies on Absolute difficulty?

Vote here

We will try to implement the adjustments as soon as we can.

Superstitions and legends become a reality in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, today we’re revealing Vorago. This grotesque demonic looking half-man, half-creature has bat-like wings and is one of the more powerful characters in the game, his pale complexion, and foreboding stature made all the more apparent with his ability to levitate, looking down on those he has little respect for. You’ll discover more about the characters’ motives in Vampires: Bloodlord Rising as you play through the main campaign and how a pact among the Vampire clans known as the Tribunal of Blood defines his actions.

Vorago took on many different disruptive forms in the initial stages of exploratory character design. Designers at Mehuman Games took inspiration from traditional vampire folklore, as well as TV and film depictions in relation to the transformative nature of vampires and created their own hybrid human / creature design that you see below.



Let us know what you think of the Vorago design in our Discord.
