Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2's Latest Trailer Showcases Both PvE and PvP In Action

For the Emperor!

Comments

The Emperor of Mankind is going to keep players extremely busy once Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II comes out. On top of playing through the main story, players will also have the chance to play PvE modes or slay heretics in PvP.

In a new gameplay video, we got a closer look at one of the operations players can undertake in Space Marines 2, which takes them to Planet Kadaku. Like inthe main campaign, players will be going against various Tyranids. The latest video shows three Space Marines doing just that while fighting a boss known as a Carnifex.

Now Playing: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 - 7 Minutes Of Extended Multiplayer Gameplay

That wasn't the only thing shown off. We also got a closer look at the Capture and Control multiplayer mode. As the name suggests, the goal of the game is to hold key points on the map for a specific amount of time. Whoever controls the area will begin to earn points, and the winning team is decided by whoever reaches the score limit first or by whoever has the most points when time runs out.

Overall, the trailer does a great job of showcasing how ranged and melee combat blend together. In addition to having jetpacks and rifles, players can easily switch them out for a sword and shield. Just like its tabletop counterpart, right after a player is done shooting, they can engage in melee combat if they want to.
