Saber Extends Space Marine 2 Into Year 3 as 12 Million Players Drive New 2027 Class

Q: Which fan-favorite Space Marine specialist will join the fight against the Tyranids in 2027?

It has not been officially revealed. Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have confirmed only that a new playable Space Marine class, described as “highly requested by the community,” is planned for the first half of 2027 in *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*. Based on community speculation cited around the announcement, the leading fan-favorite candidates are the Apothecary, Chaplain, and Judiciar. Among those, the Apothecary—especially an Apothecary Biologis-style specialist—appears to be one of the most discussed possibilities because it would fit the Tyranid war setting and offer a distinct support or gene-seed recovery role. What is clear is that the 2027 addition is intended to be a major Year 3 feature as Saber extends support for the game after it passed 12 million players. Until the studio makes a formal reveal, any specific class name remains unconfirmed. So the accurate answer is that the specialist joining the fight in 2027 is still secret, with Apothecary, Chaplain, and Judiciar currently the main community guesses.

A new playable class is now slated for the first half of 2027 as Saber Interactive confirmed a full third year of support for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
More than 12 million players pushed the studio to expand support beyond its original plan, turning Year 3 into a broader content roadmap rather than a light post-launch tail.
Year 3 will include additional free updates, paid DLC, gameplay improvements and new features, while nearer-term updates add PvE missions, Siege Mode improvements, enemy variants, armor sets, weapon variants and quality-of-life changes.
The expansion follows the recent arrival of the Techmarine—Space Marine 2's seventh class—and underscores how the game is still widening its live-service ambitions well after launch.
