Summary
The world ofWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2is about to expand even further, with developers releasing the official Integration Studio for the game. Players now have access to the same toolkit developers use when building and testing the game itself, giving the modding community an unprecedented level of freedom when it comes toSpace Marine 2. Numerous mods have already been released forWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, though with the official dev toolkit, modding has never been easier or more open-ended.
Released last year,Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2effectively reinvigorated theWarhammercommunity while also piquing the interest of those not yet acquainted with the grim dark world ofWarhammer 40K. Following in the footsteps of the highly regarded originalSpace Marinegame from 2011,Space Marine 2is an upgrade in practically every way, coming equipped with an array of exciting features, like a PvP and PvE mode, as well as a number of difficulties to choose from. However, it’sSpace Marine 2’s continued support that has kept the game so interesting all these months later, with it receiving perhaps its most significant update.
The official dev toolkit forSpace Marine 2hasbeen released publicly. “As of today, we’re releasing the official Integration Studio for public use,” director Dmitry Grigorenko recently announced, literally handing more keys to theSpace Marine 2fortress to the community.Space Marine 2modderscan now create with more freedom than ever, as the official dev toolkit will streamline mod creation as well as allow for more variety in terms of what users can actually create. This will also significantly speed up mod creation as a whole while also giving users access to tools they haven’t had yet, likeSpace Marine 2’s AI behavior trees, level scenario editor, UI and HUD elements, and much, much more.

“Not long ago, I promised we would support the modding scene,” Grigorenko continued, “and we meant it. 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 safe to say that theSpace Marine 2modding scene is about to explode, though this isn’t to say the game hadn’t already received some impressive, game-changing mods. Just recently, a mod was created adding12-player co-op toSpace Marine 2missions.
A large part ofSpace Marine 2’s success can be attributed to developers' willingness to listen and collaborate with the game’s community, as Saber Interactive has been very open to feedback. Direct lines of communication certainly help, withSpace Marine 2sporting its very own Discord server. The last few months have been very exciting forWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, though the future is also full of potential.
