After Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s Update 12 arrived and finally introduced the Techmarine class following many teases, we’ve started paying attention to Update 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 April 30’s massive Community Update, we should still expect Patch 13 to arrive a bit later than originally planned. It seems the long wait will pay off though.
