Saber Interactive gives more details of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's Horde mode

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2** will soon feature new content. The most eagerly awaited new feature is the “Horde” mode, which will be offered free of charge to all players.

The developers have now released a few details about this mode. In addition to a first image of the map (on Kadaku), we’re treated to a brief description of how this new PvE component works.

"First of all, you will be able to play up to three players (or with 2 bots, just like in regular PvE) and you will get to fight waves of both Tyranids and Chaos. Difficulty will increase for each wave defeated, so you’ll have to prepare yourself accordingly to vaporize as many waves as you can. Also, your class and weapon levels will be based on your PvE levels."

Added to this is the fact that Pach 8 will rebalance the Merciless difficulty, as well as bring additional cosmetic elements and other DLC.
