Space Marine 2 Preorder Guide – Discounts, Steelbook Case, Official Merch, And More

After a 13-year wait, Space Marine’s sequel is nearly here. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be available tomorrow, September 5, for those who purchase the Gold or Ultra Editions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. The standard edition launches Monday, September 9. Multiple preorder bonuses are up for grabs, and the physical Gold Edition comes with a steelbook case and bonus in-game content–but this edition is only available in limited quantities. Console versions of Space Marine 2 cost $10 more than their PC counterparts. That gap is actually even wider right now, as Fanatical is discounting Steam keys for all three editions ahead of launch.

If you’re unsure if you want to buy the long-awaited sequel, we awarded it an 8/10 in our Space Marine 2 review-in-progress, calling it “a more-than-worthy successor to the 2011 original.” We still need to spend some time with PvP when multiplayer servers are active before finalizing our review, but the hack-and-slash combat is satisfying and the sprawling world is well-designed.

Quick Look: Space Marine 2 Preorders and Merch

• Get Gold Edition with steelbook case at Amazon (September 5)
• Get standard edition at Amazon (September 9)
• Save up to $12 on Steam keys at Fanatical
• Preorder Warhammer Ultramarines Titan Evo gaming chair at Secretlab
• Check out Space Marine: The Board Game for $40

Big Warhammer fans should also check out Secretlab’s Ultramarines Titan Evo gaming chair before it sells out. Preorders for wave one, which ships this month, are sold out, but a second wave of shipments is scheduled for October. Wave two will probably sell out soon, too, as 50% of stock has already been claimed. Check out our Ultramarines Titan Evo story for more details on the $624 gaming chair.

If you’re waiting until the standard edition launches to start playing, you could still dive into the world of Space Marines this weekend with the Game Workshop’s official board game. The two-player asymmetrical strategy game features the same cover art as Space Marine 2, but it’s a fast-paced asymmetrical strategy game. It comes with a 40-page handbook with instructions for assembling the 23 miniatures you’ll find in the box. Space Marine: The Board Game is exclusive to Target and costs $40.
