Unexpected triumph: the publisher did not believe in the success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which became one of the biggest hits of late 2024, continues to hold the attention of players, although initially even its publisher doubted the success of the project. The head of PulluP Entertainment, the parent company of Focus Entertainment, Geoffroy Sardin admitted that the game was created as a niche product for dedicated fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and fans of the genre, but its quality attracted a much wider audience.

According to Sardin, the key idea of ​​development was to create a game not for everyone, but for a specific target audience. However, thanks to excellent execution and word of mouth, Space Marine 2 exceeded all expectations, collecting more than seven million unique players. This result was a surprise for the publisher, who initially did not expect such a large-scale success.

Released on September 9, 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 received high marks from both critics and players. The developers from Saber Interactive are not going to stop there - the game will continue to receive support for at least a year, including the release of new content. This example once again confirmed that a high-quality niche project can go beyond expectations and win a huge audience.
