, the new Neo-Volkite *******, and the hotly anticipated Dark Angels chapter cosmetic pack.

But, it seems, that is not all it confirmed.

Eagle-eyed fans have also spotted a number of pieces of DLC neither Focus nor developer Saber Interactive have announced, although some of it has been strongly hinted at via datamining. First up, we see what looks like confirmation that the Ravenwing chapter of Space Marines is set to get a cosmetic pack after the Dark Angels get theirs.

In the video, we see the menu screen for the Dark Angles cosmetics, and at the top of the screen we can see the Raven Guard symbol next in-line.

, which strongly suggests Saber plans to expand the game’s Space Marine customization beyond variations of the latest Mark 10 Tacticus power armor.

Space Marine 2, which is set in Warhammer 40,000’s current and ongoing Indomitus Era, features Primaris (*******, stronger, better) marines and thus focuses on the latest armor sets in the tabletop. However, this datamine suggests old favorites are potentially on the way, and it’s the “beaky” helmet popularized by the Raven Guard chapter of Space Marines that’s got Warhammer 40,000 fans most excited.

What we don’t know at this point is which Space Marine 2 class is set to receive the Raven Guard skin. The Heavy already has one, and, soon enough, the Bulwark will have its Dark Angels skin. That leaves the ********, *******, Tactical, and Vanguard up for grabs.

The expectation is the Raven Guard skin won’t be released before 2025, with Season 2 set to kick off very soon and run until the end of the year. Season 3 sounds like a decent bet.

Meanwhile, fans have spotted additional Space Marine 2 successor chapters in the trailer.

compiled a helpful list, below:

• Angels of Absolution
• Angels of Redemption
• Angels of Vengeance
• The Unnamed
• Blades of Vengeance
• Cowled Wardens
• Bringers of Judgement
• Angels of Defiance (potentially)

for spotting this. At one point in the trailer, where we see a Space Marine battling a Thousand Sons Chaos Marine, we see what very much looks like a Tzaangor Shaman (the ****** mounted atop a flying Disc of Tzeentch).

Check the out of focus Tzaangor Shaman in the top left of the screenshot below:

The addition of new enemies is on the Space Marine 2 roadmap, and indeed Focus has said Seasons 3 and 4 will add new Tyranid and Thousand Sons enemies. A Tzaangor Shaman would fit the bill, perhaps throwing magic bolts around in a new PvE Operations map.

Here's an image of the Tzaangor Shaman model from Games Workshop itself:
