Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s “Datavault” Update Out Now
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s “Datavault” Update Out Now with Tons of Free Content, Season Pass Cosmetics & QoL Improvements
Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are thrilled to welcome the third major content update for the blockbuster Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Titled “Datavault,” this new update brings more free content and much-requested quality-of-life improvements to all players, while also granting Season Pass owners even more cosmetics to customize their characters. Space Marine 2 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Check out everything the “Datavault” update has to offer with today’s new trailer!
New challenges and rewards await in the Datavault!
Directly accessible through the Armory, today’s main addition comes in the form of the Datavault, a brand-new Battle-Barge chamber where Tech-Priests collect and store intel on the many enemies of the Imperium. By completing Ordeals, players will accumulate Research Data that they’ll be able to trade for Requisition Points and new cosmetics like pauldron markings, weapon skins (Thunder Hammer, Auto Bolt Rifle) and even new armor pieces (breastplate, gauntlet).
A new map comes to PvP while the Biovore invades Operations mode
With today’s update, Eternal War mode gets its first new PvP map since launch with the Necron-themed “Tomb” map.
Operations players, meanwhile, will need to keep an eye out for the new Tyranid Biovore, a devastating Majoris enemy able to deal damage both from afar and up close.
Season Pass brings the Raven Guard and Salamanders
In addition to these new challenges, Season Pass owners today receive the Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack and the Salamanders Champion Pack. The first comes with the iconic, fan-favorite Mark VI “Corvus” helmet and over 40 cosmetics to celebrate the Raven Guard Successor Chapters, while the latter brings a new Champion skin for the Sniper class and an exclusive Bolt Sniper Rifle skin.
“Absolute” difficulty now available, amidst huge QoL improvements
Besides its free and Season Pass content, “Datavault” also delivers the sixth and final difficulty setting, aptly named “Absolute,” as well as significant quality-of-life features for PC and console players alike. These include the addition of an opt-in/opt-out Crossplay feature in PvP matches, an FOV slider on PC, a number of tweaks to class perks, and a “currency exchange,” allowing players to trade their Armoury Data for rarer tiers or even Requisition Points! More details can be found in our official “Datavault” patch notes.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Get up to 25% off on PlayStation and Xbox if you purchase the Standard or Ultra Editions, as well as the game’s DLC.
