By A “considerate revamp” of Space Marine 1!
- by Ben Kerry
As part of the significant Warhammer Skulls presentation today, the team revealed that the original 40K: Space Marine installment is receiving a next-gen remaster! Indeed, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is being developed by SneakyBox – and it will be available on Xbox Game Pass on the very first day!
Even better, Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is only a few weeks away from release. That’s right, this “loyal revamp” of the initial Xbox 360 version debuts for Xbox Series X|S on June 10th – including that day one launch on Game Pass Ultimate.
You can view the team’s announcement trailer above, and below is a brief introduction to the game:
“Redesigned for a new era by SneakyBox with 4K resolution, enhanced controls, a UI redesign, upgraded character models and remixed audio, the Master Crafted Edition delivers the action, the bloodshed, and the triumph closer, louder, and with more intensity than ever before. Immerse yourself in this pivotal third-person shooter situated within the grim darkness and relentless battles of the Warhammer 40,000 universe like never before.”
Last year, Space Marine 2 astonished many of us with just how impressive the sequel turned out to be – especially in the technical aspects where Saber Interactive truly excelled. While this isn’t the same crew working on the Space Marine remaster, we’re thrilled it’s getting a next-gen adaptation to accompany the outstanding SM2.
