Big news for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 fans today: publisher Focus Entertainment has revealed the game’s Year 3 roadmap and confirmed the new class set to hit early 2027.
Let’s get straight to the headline here: the new class is — as so many had suspected — the Apothecary. In May I predicted the addition of the Apothecary as a heavy duty support class with a powerful healing ability, perhaps even with unique gameplay around harvesting Gene-seed.
“We’ve been following all your speculations ever since we teased the arrival of a new class, and you certainly had plenty of theories… and the majority of you were right!” Focus said. “Today, we’re finally revealing the truth: the Apothecary is joining the ranks with Patch 17 in the first quarter of 2027! We’ll disclose more info later, so stay tuned!
“Additionally, as we said in the previous Community Update, the Apothecary will receive a Champion skin in the same way the Techmarine did: in the update after its release.”
That’s all we have on the Apothecary, unfortunately, but we have plenty more on Year 3. Patch 15 hits October 1, with Patch 16 out before the end of this year. The long-awaited Chaos Siege mode, which lets you to play Heretic Astartes previously exclusive to PvP, arrives with Patch 15, as does the One-Handed Thunder Hammer. Patch 16 adds a brand-new PvP mode featuring Weekly Stratagems, just like in PvE.
2027 will being the Apothecary, as mentioned, new Operations and weapons, and “reworks to several gameplay features, with improvements coming to some of the game’s core systems,” Focus said.
“Additionally, there are a couple of other cool features that are planned, but not listed in the roadmap,” the publisher teased.
