Following the enormous success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, franchise rights holder Games Workshop is keen on maintaining that momentum with its next game.

First spotted by GameSpot, Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree said in the company's latest earnings report that the company's success in the video game market can be attributed both to "established games" as well as the "success" of Space Marine 2, specifically. He then seemed to acknowledge the relatively niche space Warhammer has carved out for itself in the gaming segment.

2024 was the year I rekindled my love of shooters – and it's all thanks to Stalker 2, Black Ops 6, and Space Marine 2.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
