Behaviour Interactive is developing an unannounced AAA science-fiction FPS using Unreal Engine. A job posting for a Senior Technical Animator at the Montreal branch describes the project as having a “very high level of realism” and requiring animation for both bipedal and non-bipedal characters. Saber Interactive is also developing a new AAA shooter based on a well-known franchise using Unreal Engine 5. Job listings for a Senior Narrative Designer suggest the project may include PvPvE multiplayer elements. While there is speculation regarding a link to a Hasbro partnership—with some fans pointing to potential connections to the Transformers franchise—discrepancies exist between previous mentions of the proprietary Swarm engine and the Unreal Engine 5 specified in recent advertisements. In October 2026, publisher Focus Entertainment and parent company PULLUP Entertainment reported that Space Marine 2 has reached 15 million unique players, including those using subscription services. This milestone follows a surge in Steam activity linked to the launch of the game’s Year 3 update and the introduction of the Chaos Siege mode. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-24: Saber Interactive reaches 15 million players for Space Marine 2 while developing new AAA shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has surpassed 15 million players.
