Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive shared an update with the community, giving some of the first details on what to expect from the first new co-op mission. Slated to arrive at some point later in October, this mission will again unleash players against the forces of the Tyranids. Here's the full mission briefing:
The Tyranid invasion of Kadaku is ending. The planet’s organic material is being transformed into biomass, and Tyranid Capillary Towers stretch high into the skies above, where the Hive Ships wait to taste their victory.
The Cadian forces have made a valiant attempt to push back against the Tyranids. A team of Space Marines arrives on Kadaku with a simple mission: help the Cadians destroy the towers. The Tyranids may win the planet, but the Imperium will make it as painful as possible for them.
In addition to this new Operations mission, more hotfixes are on the way, which are meant to further reduce the number of bugs players encounter and continue to improve server stability.

There's also going to be new foes added to the list of enemies in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Right now, it's a bit unclear as to whether or not this means new individual enemy types added to the existing factions, new factions entirely, or both.
No matter what, the roadmap is set to continue well into 2025. The developers of the game have been thrilled with the response so far, and have noted there are ideas percolating for story DLC or even a Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3.
In my review of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, I wrote that "Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts will appreciate the finer details, but anyone that just wants to carve a path through teeming alien mobs will have a lot of fun, especially if they're playing in co-op. There are some technical problems to address, but with a robust roadmap of new missions and enemies in the coming months, I'm looking forward to taking up arms with the Emperor's Angels again and again."
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is currently available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5.
