Space Marine 2 Won’t Have 4-Player Co-Op Because It Makes the Game “Too Easy”

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is about to get even crazier with the upcoming launch of the very much requested Siege Mode. It’s the Horde mode that was promised to us at launch, and it’s finally coming in June. With the new announcement, we’ve also gotten an answer to one of the most asked questions.

Why can’t players team up in groups of four? Wouldn’t it make sense in a horde mode? But despite this, developer Saber Interactive has confirmed it will not be increasing the co-op limit beyond three players. According to Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits, doing so would make the game too easy. And we don’t want that, do we?

Space Marine 2 will stick to 3-player teams for co-op

Set to launch on June 26, 2025, Patch 8 finally gives us Siege, an endless horde-style mode in which we must defend an Imperial fortress on the planet Kadaku from waves of Tyranid and Chaos forces. While Siege is the game’s most ambitious post-launch addition so far, it is still limited to the three-player co-op restriction found in the original Operations missions.

, Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at Saber Interactive, explained the studio’s commitment to the three-player co-op structure. He explained that adding a fourth player during PvE missions, including Siege Mode, made the entire thing feel too easy, and that the changes needed to improve it weren’t worth it.

As we’ve mentioned in a past interview, sticking to three players for PvE game modes (including Siege Mode) has to do with the challenge we’re able to provide, and specifically, the enemies we’re able to throw at you and your friends. Having four Space Marines together for a PvE mission simply made it too easy, and scaling enemy assaults to justify bringing a fourth player was too great of a challenge.

If this is a disappointment to you, worry not, because there’s a way for you to play with more people. Earlier this month, a modder known as Warhammer Workshop (Tom) released a crazy 12-player co-op mod. And the best part is that the developers have completely supported the modding community in the hope that it makes the game last long like Skyrim.

The game continues to charge ahead with updates

Willits acknowledged the work of modders but clarified that the studio has no plans to officially expand co-op beyond three players. “We don’t have such plans at this time,” he stated. This officially shuts the door for official large-party co-op, but it leaves room for the modding scene to experiment further

Patch 8, launching alongside Siege Mode on June 26, also brings cosmetic DLC for the White Scars and Blood Angels chapters, each adding new skins and cosmetics for various classes and weapons. While this content is locked behind the Ultra Edition, Gold Edition, or Season Pass, Siege Mode itself will be free to all players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Still, the future remains bright for Space Marine 2. Willits confirmed that post-Year 1 content is already in development, including new missions, weapons, and an entirely new class that will be revealed in the coming weeks. While the three-player cap isn’t going away, we can expect even more content in the coming days.

Saber Interactive has put a lot into making Space Marine 2 a good live-service game since its launch. What do you think of the upcoming Siege mode? Will you be playing it? Let us know your thoughts!
