Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 surpasses 5 million copies sold

Released over a decade following its first entry, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched in September to a wave of success; both critically and commercially. Just 3 months on and the game has already hit its first major milestone of 5 million copies sold.

Making the announcement as part of their November community update, the Space Marine 2 team at Saber Interactive celebrated the milestone, saying:

“5 million Space Marines have joined our ranks to purge Xenos & Chaos! Huge thanks to everyone who's joined the fight. It’s been incredible to see the community grow (and to keep seeing it grow)! Here’s to many more battles ahead.”

Space Marine 2 managed to sell an impressive 2 million copies in its first 24 hours, however given how front-loaded many game sales are, it having pushed a further 3 million since is impressive indeed.

Hopefully the game only continues to improve with time and as more content gets added.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
