There’s one thing within the water for video games that function troopers in blue armor, as a result of after Helldivers 2, developer Saber Interactive’s long-awaited Warhammer 40K: Area Marine 2 is the newest huge hit of 2024.
It’s been such an excellent hit, that chatting with IGN, chief inventive officer Tim Willits spoke about how the success of Area Marine 2 will impression the way forward for the studio.
Principally, it’ll be constructive. Vastly constructive, and it’s additionally opened the door to a 3rd Area Marine recreation, and DLC for Area Marine 2.
“With Area Marine 2, it actually does change all the things. Throughout our firm get together, I gave a bit 30-second speech and I advised the entire crew, this adjustments all the things we do shifting ahead, from our small video games like our third-party publishing video games, to A Quiet Place subsequent month. Now we have Poisonous Commando developing with Focus quickly. The whole lot that we do now, this adjustments.
And as workers, and I do know this firsthand, when you’ve gotten a giant hit and you’ve got that web sort of reputation, there’s extra ardour and there’s extra duty for the standard that you simply do. And also you have a look at your self by means of a special lens. And generally that success lens generally is a little harmful as a result of then you definately get so paranoid about ensuring all the things is nice that you simply overstress about issues, but it surely’s that success lens that basically drives wonderful video games into the longer term. So I do consider that by means of the success lens that we have now, we are going to simply make much better merchandise sooner or later.
Our recreation director Dmitry Grigorenko, he has proposed some story concepts that would both be DLC or a sequel. We’re actually simply catching our breath. That is two weeks out. We simply have to get the mud to settle. However I can confidently say that we are going to not disappoint our Warhammer followers sooner or later. It’s too huge of a hit! I do know that’s an apparent factor to say, however hopefully we’ll be engaged on Area Marine content material for a very long time.”
It’s thrilling to listen to how the success of Area Marine 2 is permitting Saber to do extra. Hopefully we’ll hear information about DLC quickly.
