We’re only 41 days away from the release of Space Marine 2; it’s the perfect time for our monthly Community Update! (got it? 41 days? 41st Millenium?😉😉) We can sense the excitement growing as the release gets closer, and even more, since we announced that

SPACE MARINE 2 IS OFFICIALLY GOLD

For those unfamiliar with the gaming industry, this means that the game has been approved by Microsoft and Sony and that we’ve been given the green light for the production of our retail boxes. Though we’ll continue to work on polish until the release, this essentially means that the game is ready.

This is a huge milestone for the teams and another major step towards the game’s full release on September 9, so we’re very proud to share the good news with you all.




Over the past months, we’ve seen many questions about the precise features of the game. We’ll try to tackle a few here:

• Do I need to have played Space Marine 1 to go into Space Marine 2?
  
  • Not at all! While there are returning characters, it's a fresh story that can be understood as its own without having played the first game.

• Will the game be available on GeForce Now?
  
  • Yes.

• Will it be possible to pre-download the game before the release?
  
  • No.

• Is there couch co-op?
  
  • No, co-op features will only be available online.

• Does the game require to be “always online” to play?
  
  • Offline mode is available for the campaign
    
  • PVE can be played offline, but you won't have access to progression if you do not connect to the servers.

• How long does it take to complete the campaign?
  
  • On average, the campaign should take between 10 to 12 hours to complete. This can vary depending on the difficulty and your player profile.

• What are the PC specs?
  
  • At this moment, we are conducting the final PC specs tests. We’re very aware that it’s one of the most awaited information on the game, and we will come back to you within the next couple of weeks with the recommended and minimum specs.

We know you’re super thirsty for more content so be assured that you do not need to worry, you can expect more videos to pop up on our YouTube and social media channels (Discord, Twitter, Facebook).
Talking about videos, we’re currently publishing on our secondary channel a series of short videos detailing some aspects of the game: weapons, enemies, environments…

You'll find the complete playlist here.

Amongst the upcoming short videos, there will be more weapons, a rundown of the different PvE classes, and more!

On top of that, you can expect co-op previews to start dropping during August, with content creators starting publishing videos on their side as well.

Next, we’ll detail the post-launch content of Space Marine 2 in a blog article that should be published around mid-August.

Finally, we’re reaching the final stages of our North America Tour, with Chicago (August 16-18) and Toronto (August 22-25) being the final places where you’ll be able to put your hands on Space Marine 2’s demo before the release.



Aaand that’s it for this month! We hope you’re as excited as we are!
We’re really in the final weeks before the launch of Space Marine 2, it truly feels unreal and we can’t wait to see you play the game!

See you next month!

"He’s living in his own world," was something I heard often, especially when I was younger. Ever since I can remember, I had a tendency to create stories in my head—imagining potential outcomes in real life or crafting tales with my own characters and even those of others. One of my favorite pastimes was daydreaming about alternate endings and new plots for existing stories. For instance, I would envision scenarios where Arthas didn’t turn evil in Reign of Chaos or imagine myself as a supreme mage in the Elder Scrolls universe, altering major events.

Growing up, I was always a bit of a dreamer. My childhood was filled with books, games, and endless daydreams that transported me to other worlds. This love for storytelling wasn't just another fun thing to do; it became a part of who I am. My family and friends often noticed my knack for creating elaborate stories, and while some may have thought I was just a kid with a wild imagination, I knew there was something more to it.


In high school, I created Nelethar, a world that has evolved multiple times over the years. It started as a novel, then became a visual novel, transitioned into an audiobook, and eventually morphed into a video game. Each iteration refined the story and deepened my connection to this world.

During high school and college, I had the privilege to experience a plethora of things—from parties to vacations, meeting new people, and getting introduced to the game development industry. As I grew, so did my world. Finally, in college, together with my two friends, we decided to create Tricoman, meaning three game junkies, and give a shot at creating our first RPG set in the world of Nelethar. However, we soon realized the magnitude of making an RPG. Even though we had assistance from multiple accelerators, it took us several years and the introduction of the newest member of Tricoman, Borislav, to give this project another chance. That’s where we are now, giving it another go at creating a first complete experience in the world of Nelethar through the game Godforged: Origins of Ozgalor.


Right now, I'm deep into working on the lore—lots and lots of lore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a blast creating a franchise like this, but it’s definitely not something that can be done overnight. Developing various zones, their histories, heroes, villains, and everything else feels more like being a surgeon than a narrative director. Having to carefully assemble everything and ensure it all makes sense took a lot more than what I originally thought, but at the same time, I haven't had this much fun in a long while.


Ah, my earliest gaming memory... I guess I would have to say it was the first time I played a console game, which was Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. It was my introduction to gaming, and together with my brother, we ended up spending days trying to beat the game in co-op. That experience hooked me immediately, especially since those games had a rather high difficulty with long distances between checkpoints, making us invest more time and effort to pass the levels.

Soon after, we switched to the PS1, playing various games from Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 to Digimon World 3. We were completely enthralled by the experiences those games offered. Although I started my gaming journey on consoles, it wasn't until I tried GTA Liberty City and Gothic 3 that I fell in love with RPG worlds. Those games made me realize the vast potential and immersive experiences that the world of gaming had to offer and made me fall in love with games even more.


Stubbornness and love. I've always been passionate about video games and dreamed of creating one of my own. I knew making games was really hard, especially living in the Balkans where opportunities in the game industry are quite limited. Despite this, I held onto the dream of crafting my own story, particularly in an RPG. However, the more I tried, the more feedback I received telling me it was impossible to achieve that in Serbia. Many suggested I should stick to mobile games or writing books—anything that could earn me money instead of wasting time on what seemed impossible.

Just as my passion was starting to dim, I was fortunate enough to meet a mentor who rekindled my hope. Soon after, like a domino effect, I began meeting people from around the world who pushed me to greater heights. Eventually, I was offered what was previously my dream job at Blizzard Entertainment. However, at the same time, I also had the opportunity to make my dream a reality right here in Serbia by working on Godforged. So I chose Godforged and am still pursuing my passion, striving to make the impossible into a reality.


While there are numerous moments in my career that I could highlight, none compare to the first time we tried to make an RPG. At that time, we were living at a friend's house, trying to create a game from a "garage" in a sense. Although this was basically the start of our journey in the game development industry, to me, it was one of the greatest moments. Just being there, sitting in one room with friends, trying to make our first game with close to no knowledge of actually making a complete game, was incredibly memorable and impactful. The camaraderie, the shared passion, and the sheer excitement of tackling such a daunting task together made it a truly special experience.
