10 Video Game Franchises Making Huge Comebacks In 2023
2. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a 2011 third-person shooter that, for the longest time, was the most faithful and engrossing re-creation of the Warhammer 40K setting. Since then, there have been a lot of other 40K-inspired games that could claim that title; however, none of them blended the elements of hack-and-slash and shooter gameplay like Space Marine.
For this reason, the recent announcement of the sequel has generated a lot of hype. After more than ten years, Space Marine is finally coming back with brand new graphics and refined combat mechanics, continuing the story right where it left off. Naturally, this is a dream come true for the fans of the first game, but the sequel is in a good position to attract some new players as well.
With Darktide having a somewhat rocky release last year, Space Marine 2 is the perfect replacement for those who seek to shed some blood in a dark and gritty sci-fi setting. Especially since the sequel is complete with its very own co-op campaign, just like Darktide.
