Sony has some exciting news for fans of the Warhammer series. The much-anticipated Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 will be available for a free trial on PS Plus Premium this coming December. As part of PlayStation’s 30th-anniversary celebrations, subscribers at the Premium tier can delve into this gritty action-packed shooter without any cost starting next month.
Since its release by Saber Interactive in September 2024, Space Marine 2 has garnered both critical acclaim and a robust player base. It hit a milestone of over 4.5 million players by October, and that number has only climbed since. Despite some initial community feedback regarding game updates, the developers quickly addressed those concerns, maintaining player satisfaction. In December, fans can also look forward to an array of fresh content being added to the game.
In addition to this bonus content, PlayStation 5 users should mark their calendars for December 3, 2024. That’s when the Space Marine 2 trial rolls out on PS Plus Premium. Game trials aren’t a common offering on the platform, especially for major titles like Space Marine 2. The last addition was Stellar Blade in June. Given this rarity, the upcoming trial is certainly a treat for players.
With playability up for grabs during PlayStation’s milestone celebration, it’s a fantastic opportunity for subscribers to immerse themselves in new experiences. Space Marine 2 is set to charm even more fans with its trial, although the specific length of this trial remains under wraps. Typically, major titles are available for around two hours, so it’s expected this one will follow suit, potentially boosting its sales in the process.
But it doesn’t stop with Space Marine 2. The anniversary will also see the introduction of three PS2 classics. Players can expect to revisit the beloved worlds of Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Meanwhile, PS Plus Essential subscribers won’t be left out, with offerings like It Takes Two, the monster-catching MMO Temtem, and the strategy-rich Aliens: Dark Descent.
In Space Marine 2, players become the ultimate defenders of humanity, taking on the role of legendary Space Marine Titus against the menacing Tyranid hordes. Whether playing solo or in teams of up to three, gamers will enjoy fast-paced, intense third-person action, engaging in both cooperative missions and competitive PvP. As you crush the foes of the Imperium, new skills and cosmetic upgrades await to bolster your combat style.
Released on September 9, 2024, and running on the powerful Swarm Engine, Space Marine 2 supports cross-platform play across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, inviting players into a brutal world of eternal warfare with no shortage of thrills.
