Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 pre-order bonuses
Gamers who preorder any edition of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will receive the Macragge’s Chosen DLC pack, which includes an Ultramarines-inspired skin set for the Bolt Rifle, the Chainsword, and the Crux Terminatus Pauldron.
Those who upgrade and preorder either the Gold or Ultra editions of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will also receive four days of early access, allowing players to hop into the action on September 5 ahead of the current September 9 release date.
Are the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Gold and Ultra editions worth buying?
To get either the Gold or Ultra editions, you’re either spending $30 or $40 more than the base game. That’s a sizable chunk of change, given most of the value comes from a season pass.
Although season passes are pretty standard practice nowadays, there’s one issue with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2: Saber Interactive hasn’t actually told players what it will entail. So you’re spending an extra $30, but you don’t actually know what you’re getting in return. It could be more Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 multiplayer and campaign content, or it simply could be more cosmetics.
It’s safe to say that upgrading to either the Gold or Ultra editions is a risk at the moment. If you’re confident you’ll play a lot of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, we say go for it. But if you’re more of a casual player, maybe hold off until we know what the season pass entails.
