Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s Update 12 is finally out and has introduced the Techmarine class following many teases. Now, it’s time to start paying attention to Patch 13’s release date and content.
If you need the rundown on everything coming to Space Marine 2’s Patch 13.0 and the next big steps in its second year of free and paid content, scroll down the page. We’ve collected the latest info on the plans for 2026 and tried to keep things brief.
Space Marine 2 Patch 13.0 Release Date
- Patch 13.0 for Space Marine 2 will release at some point in Q2 2026 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Q1 2026 has now ended, and according to March 31’s quick Community Update, we should expect Patch 13 to arrive a bit later than originally planned. It’s been revealed a 12.3 hotfix is now on its way too.
Space Marine 2 Patch 13.0 Content
According to Space Marine 2’s Year 2 roadmap as shared a few months ago (see above), free content, a progression update, and the Iron Hands Chapter Pack were coming with Update 13.
We’re still waiting for the full details on all this and possibly more, so here’s the quick rundown on what was originally set to come to the game next:
- New PvE mission
- New Terminus enemy
- Progression update
- Iron Hands Chapter Pack (for Season Pass 2 owners)
That said, the March Community Update teased substantial changes to the roadmap shared a few months ago, and we’ve learned things have been shifted around. In late March, Saber shared the focus of Patch 13 will be on Siege mode and the following:
- More purchasable items to allow new strategies
- Difficulty curve will be reworked, sessions will be shorter and more intense
- Playing Siege mode will also grant accolades
“It will also bring a new PvE mission, more customisation options for the Techmarine, 3 new Heroic weapons variant, a new weapon and equipment, more customisation options items (and a new customisation feature), and of course, the Iron Hands Chapter Pack.”
It remains to be seen how many of the previously announced features and bits of content will also arrive without delay.
