#Area Marine 3 announcement fails to impress followers for one good motive – Destructoid
Whereas some followers have been excited by right this moment’s announcement of Warhammer 40,000: Area Marine 3 formally coming into improvement, others really feel like it could be a bit too quickly because of the lack of content material that Area Marine 2 has obtained since its launch 6 months in the past.
A put up over on the /r/gaming subreddit discussing the Area Marine 3 improvement announcement appears fairly cut up, with some followers simply comfortable to get extra Area Marine goodness whereas others aren’t impressed. “Hope it has extra content material than 2,” states consumer Doable-Emu-2913, which to be honest is a superbly affordable request. “Yeah that is disappointing information for individuals nonetheless hoping for substantial assist for SM2,” responded consumer -thecheesus-.
For what it’s price, Focus Leisure did verify within the Area Marine 3 improvement announcement that they are going to proceed to assist Area Marine 2 with thrilling content material and common updates within the coming years.
It’s vital to notice that that is an especially early announcement for Area Marine 3. For comparability, Area Marine 2 was introduced at The Recreation Awards in December 2021, and simply launched in September 2024, which means there was nearly three years between the announcement and its subsequent launch. Assuming right this moment’s reveal means improvement has actually simply begun, it might be even longer till Area Marine 3 truly releases.
Some followers within the subreddit really feel as if Saber and Focus ought to take the chance to launch some narrative marketing campaign DLC and expansions for Area Marine 2, arguing that the sport “dropped as a strong platform wanting content material, with the wheels greased for vital additions to increase the sport.” After all, not everybody agrees, with followers mentioning that they’d relatively they deal with singular full-price video games relatively than bite-sized DLC drops over the following few years.
Realistically, this needs to be a better of each worlds state of affairs. Not all video games obtain assist this lengthy after launch, so figuring out that Area Marine 2 goes to proceed to get some updates and content material whereas the follow-up is already in improvement no matter how that content material sells is a uncommon win for followers within the business nowadays.
For me personally, I simply can’t wait to see what enemy faction shall be on the forefront of Area Marine 3. Orks and Tyranids, whereas vastly totally different, are related within the sense that they’re each “zerg-like” in that they’ve mass numbers which have sort of led to the horde onslaught-style gameplay the collection has utilized within the first two video games.
Warhammer 40k: Area Marine 3 is at the moment in improvement with no anticipated launch timeframe.
