The developers of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 have addressed community concerns regarding recent in-game events perceived as promoting "fear of missing out" (FOMO). These events offered limited-time cosmetic items, sparking a backlash and accusations of the game shifting towards a full live-service model.
FOMO is a common tactic in live-service games, encouraging players to purchase virtual items quickly to avoid losing access. This practice is often criticized for fostering unhealthy gaming habits. While Space Marine 2 doesn't feature loot boxes, the limited-time cosmetic events triggered negative reactions.
AnswerSee ResultsIn response, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive acknowledged the negative feedback, stating they are not aiming to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live-service game. They reassured players that all event items will be made available again at a later date. Their statement emphasized a desire for community events to reward dedicated players without causing frustration. They apologized for the initial shortcomings and promised a simplified unlocking process.
As a gesture of goodwill, the emblem-less Mk VIII Errant Helmet (previously only obtainable through a challenging community event ending March 3rd) is being given away free to all players who link their PROS accounts.
The upcoming 7.0 update will introduce a new weapon, map, and PvE Prestige Ranks. This follows previous communication addressing player concerns about content, outlining future plans for the game. Space Marine 2 achieved a record-breaking launch, selling over 5 million copies and becoming the fastest-selling Warhammer game ever.
