Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II var så populært at andre Warhammer-spil solgte bedre

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II er blandt 2024's helt store succeser, og det cementerede ikke bare et bundsolidt ry for udvikler Saber Interactive, men har skabt fornyet interesse i hele licensen også.

Faktisk viser det sig at spillet har været så populært, at det har sat sving i salgstallene for andre Warhammer 40K-spil også. I et interview med PCGamer siger Mike Knight, der er Narrative Lead for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide hos Fatshark, at de oplevede et stort opsving:

"It makes sense, people play a game and like it, so they look around for something else that's similar."

Anton Emelianov, der er brand manager hos Owlcat siger:

"When one Warhammer game does well, it lifts the others. We saw a noticeable uptick in interest around Rogue Trader when Space Marine 2 launched—people wanted to explore the setting further, often in different genres."

"Space Marine 2's success is awesome, but only reinforces what we already know to be true. Warhammer is awesome and makes a great setting for games!" siger Knight.

"There's plenty of room for new stories within the setting. While our games are very different—and CRPGs are often seen as more of a niche genre—the success of Space Marine 2 is inspiring and motivates us to keep raising the bar," tilføjer Emelianov.
