As far as I can tell there are still ones you unlock from playing the game it is just that there will be seasonal cosmetics as well. There are six different marine classes (Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, Heavy) and each has a slightly different armor to customize. For example onene of them has a shield and Vanguard (and I'm guessing Sniper) is in Phobos. Maybe the Heavy will be in Gravis? The 6v6 shows Chaos marines so I can see having a base Chaos marine and them different cosmetics to upgrade them and make them fashioonable. Of course there are weapon ornaments as well so it appears there is a lot of room for both in game earned as well as SP and microtransaction (ugh) options.

Unfortunately, no. The generation cycle has gotten past through COVID enough that most of the more modern games that aren't aimed to be backwards compatible through live service are basically now only being released for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. Space Marine 2 is included in this, they usually don't bother releasing it for weaker platforms for the same company, normally its the other way around, doing upgrades for next gen consoles instead.

I'm hoping it doesn't force you to start with a combat knife and a pistol again, as a CAPTAIN.
Although it looks like Titus is an LT now? Still, give me a power sword and a plasma pistol please.
Also, since BOLTGUN is canon now, and plays along side this entire silliness, does that mean Titus will get a grav gun, and take out terminators with a chain sword.

So far it's looking good but the proof will be how it plays on release. I'm looking forward to it and got my co-op group sorted.
Of course my biggest concern is how many bugs are going to cause problems with the game, so many games nowadays seem to be released full of bugs which means players get annoyed by having to report them and then wait for a fix.
It's happening so often it looks like games aren't tested before release. The companies seem to assume players will do that for them. So they don't have to fund play testing and make more profit.

It takes resources and time to make a dedicated demo or beta build, I feel it's better to just focus on the final product than to divert resources so close to release, 69 days to go as of typing this.
I have semi-high hopes for this one, aside from continuing the story of Titus, World War Z wasn't a half-bad game, the horde mechanic in particular throwing waves of zombies at you without making the game chug or slow down is amazing. Also, coop mode can be played solo it seems, hope for me yet.

Honestly, whenever I hear a game has a beta as a "preorder bonus"? Immediate red flag. Beta's a term that has been altered to mean "demo", because for some reason "demo" gets a bad perception these days.
If someone wants you to pay to play their demo build? Something's up.

People who signed up for the beta should be getting an email today or somesuch:
Dear player,
You have created a beta account and shown interest in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in our closed beta testing space.
Space Marine 2 is almost ready. Our teams at Focus and Saber have been truly blown away by your passion, and excitement for the game! We are now entirely focused on optimization, polish and fixing remaining issues ahead of the launch on September 9. This means we will not run a public online beta, as it would take the development teams away from preparing for the full launch, and our priority is to ensure the best possible experience at release.
We know this is disappointing news for some of you. As a thank you to those interested in participating, if you registered via the online signup before June 28, 2024 (midnight, Paris Time), you will receive the Bolt Pistol Skin below as a subscription gift. The code for the skin will be sent to you on October 1st, 2024.

Well, too bad.
In a shocking twist, early in the game a small band of Orks who are related to the Orks from the previous game find Titus and Leandros. They brutally kill Titus in front of a restrained Leandros, but leave him alive after incapacitating him. They then return whence they came and Leandros sets off in a quest of vengeance once he gathers his wits.
Character control will change between the Ork leader and Leandros at various stages of the game. A violent, but emotional journey culminates in a showdown between the leader of the Ork group(who is the last survivor) and Leandros. They then battle it out, but Leandros has mercy on the Ork and lets it go.
This was a beta, so actual gameplay/story may change in the real release.

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.
I'm sorry, I know this is small and terribly nitpicky, but I HATE the Picatinny Rail on the "Sniper rifle" I know this is incredibly pedantic, but I have to believe that this would have been improved upon by our SUPER FUTURE overlords. Also, by definition, those rails are for quick swapping attachments. I would hope the Astartes would be wise enough to build an integrated scope mount to the chassis of the rifle.

You're talking about the same Marines and Imperium that blesses vehicles with Holy Oils; performs maintenance whilst burning incense and considers innovation, invention and changing designs to be heresy?
It's more the fact that a picatinny rail has been added to weapons in 40k recently to make them look more "modern" and give the impression that (in this instance) the Primaris kit is more high tech.
Really dislike it. Same with the pouches and ludicrous clutter added to minis to make them look more realistic. Bollocks to it. I don't care it's just a chore to paint.
It's actually added as an opposite to what you're saying Overread. Fezzik is right, why would that be a thing. In mini design it wasn't before it's only put in for us as players.
Back on topic, I'm keen to play this. The PC requirements just announced today and I can just scrape by with mine. Won't be ultra settings but maybe won't be low either.

Influencers have had early access and I skimmed some of the PVE content that's been uploaded today, mostly to avoid spoilers, but seeing it in action, I have high hopes for this game, as it looks amazing and looks like a lot of fun to play.
