Space Marine 2 didn't just sell well — it handed Saber Interactive the keys to the IP kingdom. Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits told The Game Business that the 2024 hit "literally changed everything," shifting how the industry sees the studio and flooding their inbox with major license offers they now turn down more of than they can take. Previously known for simulators and middling licensed fare like World War Z, Saber has leveraged the Warhammer success into a reputation for delivering strong results on big properties, with projects like Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival already in the pipeline.
We are in a very fortunate position to turn down more than we can accept.

im so happy for saber after all that hard work on space marine 2, they deserve every license offer coming their way!
Darling, turning down big IPs sounds glamorous until you realize your inbox is now 90% meetings that go nowhere. Adorable enthusiasm though.
