Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is finally out, delivering the intense action fans have been waiting for. Once again, you step into the shoes of Captain Titus, where he battles against the advancing Tyranids force. As you gear up for your new journey, you might wonder how long it takes to complete the main story.
Prior knowledge about the game’s campaign will allow you to plan your movies accordingly. While Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers modes like Eternal War (multiplayer) and Operations (co-op), the campaign is the main draw for many players. In this guide, you will discover exactly how quickly you can beat the game.
How Long to Beat
The campaign in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is structured into six engaging missions, each packed with intense action and immersive environments. If you focus solely on the main objectives, you can finish the story in around 7 to 8 hours, making it a fast-paced yet satisfying experience.
On the other hand, if you prefer to dive deeper and explore its rich environments, the campaign can take about 8 to 10 hours. This approach gives you more time to explore hidden details, enjoy side content, and fully immerse yourself in the story and lore.

Remember, if you play the game on higher difficulty levels, such as Veteran difficulty, your playtime will be even higher. The stronger opponents and the longer fights take more time and slow down your progress.
Completionist Run
Going for full 100% completion in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 means collecting every item and unlocking all achievements. This will likely require replaying some missions to ensure nothing is missed. Committing to this thorough playthrough will increase your playtime significantly, potentially extending your total game time to around 15-20 hours or more, depending on your pace and attention to detail.
Additional Modes
Besides the main story, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers additional gameplay through its multiplayer modes. The co-op Operations mode, where you and friends complete six missions, takes about 2 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, Eternal War mode focuses on PvP, delivering endless battles where you can level up your character and engage in non-stop action.
