The Emperor Would ***** at the Space Marine 1 Remaster for What It Represents

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition is coming out on June 10, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. Announced during the recent Warhammer Skulls showcase, the Space Marine 1 remaster will also bring back Relic Entertainment, the developer of the original.

As you’d expect, a lot of fans are excited to dive back into the game. Especially after the success of Space Marine 2. But while it might be a return to old roots for some fans, the Emperor of Mankind might not agree. For the Emperor, it’s part of a creeping trend in gaming that even he will find is heresy.

The Space Marine 1 remaster is nothing short of heresy

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition is coming after the massive success of Space Marine 2, which dropped in 2024 and quickly sold over 4.5 million copies. It quickly landed on Game of the Year lists and revived a franchise that was once left abandoned. But now, it seems like we’re getting more Warhammer.

When Space Marine first launched in 2011, it was an unexpected pivot from Relic, known then for strategy games. It blended hack-and-slash action with Gears of War-style shooting. It was good, but nothing revolutionary. And for over a decade now, it was left alone until it got a sequel in 2024.

But let’s not be blind: remasters exist because they sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s the ****** Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Resident Evil 4 Remake, or Final Fantasy VII Remake; when done right, we’ve seen how popular it can get. But the gaming industry shouldn’t take the path of just cashing in on old nostalgia.

I have to say…

What a great time for Space Marine fans.

Space Marine 2 was great and a huge success with More content coming.

Space Marine 3 is Now in Development.

The biggest reason we get for these remakes and remasters is that it lets new fans and players experience these iconic games. This is very true. Another reason we’ve heard is that this lets newer or inexperienced developers get more experience while the main teams work on new games. But wouldn’t that mean that we wouldn’t get any new ideas and progress?

The Emperor could not stand this kind of tradition

Warhammer 40K is a universe that we know for the endless battle against the darkness, and thrives on invention and expansion. The Emperor did not unite the Imperium by recycling past victories, he led mankind to the future through sacrifice, determination, and ambition. A Space Marine 1 remaster may please those looking for a nostalgia fix, but it is not the way of the Emperor.

Of course, many players will enjoy the Space Marine 1 remaster, and that’s fine. The game’s no-nonsense action and tight multiplayer hold up, especially if Relic Entertainment is coming back. But let’s not pretend this is a bold step forward for the franchise. The Emperor of Mankind would not allow for the world of Warhammer to follow these trends.

What we should be excited for is Space Marine 3, confirmed earlier this year, and the future it promises for the franchise. This is not to say all remasters are inherently bad. But they might all be bad to the Emperor. If the Emperor stood over *****’s strategy today, He would not salute. He would *****.
