Warhammer 40,000: Space Ocean 2 developers come up with a funny April joke – now fans think this will be great in the game

April 1 has passed, and the video game industry's preference for April April's Day has lasted for another year. But the people behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Navy 2 Appearance may live longer in memory.

Yesterday, Space Navy 2 publisher Focus Entertainment announced that a new priest class will be released on April 1 in DLC.

“In story mode, swap Titus as a priest and experience the game as a truly code-compliant super Marin,” Fox said, without a doubt snatched from behind their monitor.

This “DLC” is said to add new playable characters to story mode, as well as an “enhanced dialogue system” that will have a priest, reminding everyone around him every five minutes that “Code Astartes does not support this action” and “I'm telling Inquiry”.

Pastors even have special abilities called discipline. This will involve reporting immediately “a 5% discipline bonus (but a fraternity bonus of -20%) compared to all the smaller deviations in the Code.

The joke works because, as anyone who has ever played the Space Navy 2 campaign knows, Chaplain Quintus looks at Titus’ distrust of Hawk-like signs of heresy, despite the protagonist’s performance of loyalty to the Empire, the Superman and the Emperor himself.

During the entire campaign, Titus fought against the traitors of Overlord and Thousand Sons, it was obvious that he had something… about him special, and the Reverend Chaplain Quintus didn’t like that either. He was kind of like the annoying school county magistrate, he patrolled the corridors, merely acts of deviation, and then-bam! You reported to the principal. Everyone hates the priest.

The priest has become a meme in the space ocean community, and it is this status that the Space Navy’s February 2 fool’s joke relies on. But some fans say they want the priest to actually compete, perhaps not with this exact skill, but as a straightforward warrior priest who insists on his respect for the emperor at all times.

“If it was true, it would actually be difficult.” Announced as Residentdrama9739 in a post on Space Ocean subreddit It was filled with passion for the priest and the way he worked in the game. Some people even said

The thing is, Space Ocean 2 yes New courses are about to be taken. Focus and Developer Saber Interactive hasn't said what it is yet, but fans certainly have their theory. Most people think it will be a pharmacist, as close to medical class as the Space Marines. But, people hope it might be a librarian, which means super cool warp-driven space magic. Will the Priest's Star turn him out in Space Marine 2's April Fool joke?

A lot of things happened in the world of Space Ocean 2. Despite the surprising announcement, the development of Space Navy 3 has begun. Space Marine 2's first-year roadmap remains, with patch 7 coming in mid-April. But in the coming months, Space Marine 2 will also receive the aforementioned new class as well as new PVE operations and melee weapons.
