Space Marine 2 Update: Secret Unfinished Feature Found
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2’s latest update brought a new Operation and enemy type, but also revealed an unfinished feature: the Research Centre. Reddit users discovered a new Thousand Sons emblem unlockable via challenges within this hidden area.
The Research Centre: What We Know
Accessing the Research Centre UI reveals a system for unlocking models for various factions (Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Tyranids, and Thousand Sons) using an unknown currency. Unlocking models grants cosmetic rewards, like the Thousand Sons emblem. The models may also serve as collectibles.
The Research Centre’s purpose remains unclear, but it might be linked to the upcoming “Battle Barge expansion” planned for 2025 as part of the game’s third season. This expansion will also include a new Operation, a PvP mode, Prestige ranks, and more.
Update 5: More Than Just a Hidden Feature
Update 5 also banned mods in public matches to improve server stability. For fans craving more Space Marine 2, a non-game sequel to the story is available in an episode of Amazon’s Secret Level series.
