The team is also pleading with the fans in their statement to avoid this leaked Space Marine 2 version as they said, “We’re asking everyone to avoid this unfinished build and to not spoil the game for those excited to experience it for the first time at launch.”

To conclude, Focus Entertainment reiterates that the best way to support their team’s hard work is to “play the game as they’ve always intended.”
