New Customization Options and Cosmetic Add-Ons
Beyond the Space marine 2 PS5 Pro optimization, Update 5.0 introduces a host of new customization options for players who want to personalize their Space Marine. The Dark Angels Chapter Pack brings fresh armor pieces and 15 lens color options, giving players even more ways to make their character uniquely theirs. These cosmetic upgrades are perfect for anyone who wants to look just as good as they play.
Operation “Obelisk” and a New Enemy
On top of all the tech upgrades, Saber Interactive is delivering new gameplay content with the Operation “Obelisk” mission. Set on Demerium, this mission picks up where the campaign leaves off, challenging players to disrupt the energy source protecting the Aurora Device. It’s a high-stakes mission that demands strategy and skill.
The mission also introduces a brand-new enemy type: the Tzaangor Enlightened. This latest addition to the Chaos forces isn’t just limited to Operation “Obelisk” – you’ll see them pop up in all Chaos-related missions going forward. For fans looking for fresh challenges and more variety in enemies, this addition is a game-changer.
