Saber Interactive is rolling out an update for Space Marine 2 on Thursday that is set to introduce some new features to the game.

Heads up, Brothers! We're getting the long-awaited Space Marine 2 September update today which should introduce private PvE lobbies and more.

Update: Space Marine 2 patch notes are now live.

Original story: A Space Marine 2 update is rolling out today and based on the roadmap – which details a ton of features coming to the Warhammer 40K game – Ultrawide support, private PvE lobbies, and a Battle Barge sparring arena should be somewhere in the patch notes. These features (and more) have been touched on by the developer, and we've rounded up the highlights of the upcoming Space Marine 2 updates which will be spread across the next patch, and the 'big update' which will presumably come with Season 2 in October.

For now though, we're still due a September update, and we've only got a few days of the month left, so unless Saber is planning to squeeze in another patch between Friday and Monday, today's Space Marine 2 update should be the one set to introduce the features promised for this month.

News of the impending Space Marine 2 update was shared on publisher Focus Entertainment's Twitter account, saying that servers will be undergoing maintenance for an hour. While the game isn't going offline during this window, Focus does warn players that "disconnects can be experienced", so it's up to you whether you want to risk logging in during the maintenance period. That being said, the downtime for the Space Marine 2 update isn't that long and is at a time when the majority of players will be at work, school, or snoozing in their beds – for the US and Europe, at least.

We've been waiting for ultrawide support since launch, which was only two weeks ago, to be fair. We've had a couple of Space Marine updates since then, with hotfix 2.1 a couple of days post-launch, and an unnamed update on Friday, September 20 that was aimed at resolving "fixing matchmaking and save issues" (via Twitter) but we didn't get any patch notes for that one.

Both updates have had players tripping over themselves, asking if this is the Space Marine 2 update that will finally bring ultrawide support to the game, but calm your chestplates, Brothers, because I think today's update is the one. The dev has specifically said the maintenance is to prep for its "upcoming patch, which will release tomorrow." So unless something really goes awry, ultrawide support is expected to debut today!

Anyone know what the status of the getting stuck in "Loading server" bug is? Don't see it in the patch notes.
