Space Marine 2 features an action-packed campaign that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Space Marine 2 may be a gorefest-filled action game, but at its core it’s built on a deeply woven story that ties everything you do in the game together, as we covered in our review. You play as Lieutenant Titus after the events of the 2011 prequel. Here, you’ll join Chairon and Gadriel as you fight your way through swarms of Tyranids.
However, throughout the campaign you are faced with tons of action, lore, enemies, and even unsuspecting allies, all in the short span of the adventure.
How long is the Space Marine 2 campaign?
Here’s how long it takes to complete the Space Marine 2 campaign:
- Rushing History: 8-10 hours
- Complete side quests along the way: 12-14 hours
The times mentioned here correspond to the average playing time of a player playing solo and on Easy or Normal difficulty. These times will change if you decide to cooperate with your friends and play on Hard or Angel of Death difficulty.
Don’t be discouraged if the campaign seems small based on numbers alone. That’s because Space Marine 2 is not only a story game, but also a live service title. Here’s how long some of the other games in the genre are:
- Halo (all games): On average 8 to 10 hours
- Gears of War (all games): On average 8 to 9 hours
The above mentioned titles are some of the best games ever made and their campaigns are quite short. It’s not always a matter of length, but also of content, and Space Marine 2 balances things out quite well.
In fact, the game doesn’t stop there as there is even more PvE content to explore via the Operations mode.

What is Operations Mode?
Operations mode is a cooperative activity in which you can join two of your friends or play solo and face hordes of Tyranids. You have the choice between 6 different maps in this mode and you can play them endlessly since they are all replayable multiple times.
These missions will take you around 2-3 hours to complete. Additionally, the game will add more PvE missions later in its first year to improve replayability, so these missions are worth exploring once you’ve completed the campaign.
