Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 devs give modders the game’s internal editor to create anything they can dream of, including custom campaigns 

Saber Interactive has not only supported modders’ attempts to create 12-player MMO-like raids for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, but the team has officially handed players the game’s internal editor to make, well, whatever they want. 

In a mind-shatteringly awesome announcement on the Space Marine 2 modding hub discord channel, game director Dmitry Grigorenko handed players the keys to the game’s internal editor to give the game Skyrim levels of post-launch support. 

While Saber Interactive has promised years of additional updates, including a Horde Mode, for all platforms, modders on PC have now been granted the ability to create anything their minds can think of.

In the Discord channel, Grigorenko explained that this move is the team’s “biggest milestone yet in supporting the community”. Modders now have access to the game’s “official Integration Studio” toolkit. 

“This is the exact same editor we use internally for all gameplay development,” the game director said. “No more editing files in Notepad and praying you didn’t miss a bracket — Integration Studio makes editing anything SSL-related ten times faster, safer, and more intuitive.”

With the toolkit, players are able to work with the following tools: 

• Level scenarios
• Game modes
• Individual blueprints — and even write your own gameplay logic
• AI Behavior Trees (work in progress)
• The AI Director
• Abilities and melee combo logic
• VFX editing — now 100x easier
• UI and HUD elements

Grigorenko also promised that there is “more to come” as the team wishes to push the boundaries of what is possible with modding. Players are now able to create entire campaigns, brand-new enemies and much more. It’s actually mind-blowing. 

“Not long ago, I promised we would support the modding scene — and we meant it,” the game director said. “Watching this community grow, push boundaries, and create incredible experiences has been both inspiring and humbling. We’re excited to see what you build next — whether it’s a cinematic campaign, wild new game mode, or something we never saw coming.”

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is an amazing game, and the game’s already seen a massive number of awesome mods. However, with the release of these mod tools, the community has been truly unleashed, and we could see anything from meme levels to blockbuster-level campaigns in the future. (Fingers crossed for Necrons!)
