It’s always good to see the brains behind a great game be as excited about the whole thing as we are. That’s exactly the impression that Focus Entertainment’s latest community update about Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has given us, and we’re all the more excited for what’s next because of it.

The news follows the release of the game’s Purgation Update, which brought the very welcome addition of the Battle Simulator to accompany combat squad Veridian’s investigation into a mysterious facility. Speaking of welcome news, we now know that Year 3 of the popular shooter is bringing a new Class to the table. It’s the source of all the excitement over at Focus and Saber, and we’re not surprised that the identity of the said Class has been under wraps. Perhaps it’s better that way, as it builds the scope for more excitement and reveals in the run-up to Year 3’s beginning.”

“Lots of exciting things are coming in Year 3, and today we’re too excited to keep them under wraps, so here are a few spoilers!… a new Class is on the way, planned for the first half of 2027!”

Of course, the developers always hinted at exciting additions to the game, and this recent class is no exception. The rest of the update focused on all the new additions to the game in the wake of Purgation’s release, and a lot of it is probably stuff you already know. It’s still worth a look to see if there’s anything you might have missed.

We can’t wait to learn more about the new Class, which is apparently one that the lot of you have been quite emphatic about. “We can’t reveal which one just yet, but we can say it’s been highly requested by the community. As we did with the Techmarine, this new Class will receive its own special Champion Skin after its release.”

Year 3 will have five major updates, adding new weapons, missions, and more with bug fixes and other improvements. You’ll have to wait until the Second Anniversary Update is revealed to see the roadmap, so stay tuned for updates.

People are obsessed with Obsession, and with good reason. Writer/director Curry Barker's debut feature film tells the haunting story of a 20-something guy named Bear (Michael Johnston) who has a crush on a girl he works with named Nikki (Inde Navarrette), but he can’t quite seem to work up the courage to ask her out. So when he finds a wish-granting tchotchke in a local crystal shop, he uses it to wish for Nikki to fall deeply in love with him. While he doesn’t quite expect the wish to come true, it ends up working too well and she becomes utterly obsessed with him. Barker mixes the classic "be careful what you wish for" horror trope with an Exorcist-style possession story to create something unique and terrifying.

Diablo 4 developer Blizzard is seemingly not done making big changes to loot and itemisation in the game. As an ARPG, the chase of ever more powerful loot is a core part of the experience, and the game's next season will deliver something of a shake-up to a particular tier of attainable loot.
