"We’re excited to see what you build next – whether it’s a cinematic campaign, wild new game mode, or something we never saw coming"

It's Christmas in the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 mod scene, as the devs have just given the community the proverbial keys to the kingdom – by which I mean the actual tools the studio used to create the game in the first place.

"As of today, we’re releasing the official Integration Studio for public use," game director Dmitry Grigorenko says in a post on the Space Marine 2 modding Discord (via IGN), where you can download the tool for yourself. "This is the exact same editor we use internally for all gameplay development."

"Not long ago, I promised we would support the modding scene – and we meant it," Grigorenko says. "Watching this community grow, push boundaries, and create incredible experiences has been both inspiring and humbling. We’re excited to see what you build next – whether it’s a cinematic campaign, wild new game mode, or something we never saw coming."
