BUT WHO WATCHES THE SPY?
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Well, war and PC Gamer magazine. Well, war, PC Gamer magazine and the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 game from Saber Interactive.
The Spy knows this as The Spy recently took a jaunt to the 42nd millennium in PC Gamer’s own DeLorean time machine, and while working with the magazine’s far future editorial team of AIs, overseen of course by the immortal Emperor of Mankind himself, The Spy read an entry in the ancient history of PC gaming archives that chronicled how Space Marine 2 actually ended up launching on September 9, 2024, almost a year after its original winter 2023 release date. Unfortunately, PC Gamer’s review of Space Marine 2 had been lost during the Horus Heresy.
After playing a couple of rounds of Unreal Tournament 2004 with the Emperor, The Spy returned to the present day to find out exactly how on-track the studio is in delivering a great gaming experience on Space Marine 2’s destined release date.
KEY LIME HERESY
Do you know what they don’t have in the 42nd millennium? Famous Florida foodstuff Key lime pie. And, let me tell you, The Spy did not take that news well. There’s just something about the tart (but not too tart) lime-flavoured filling, crunchy but light graham cracker base, and soft and fluffy egg white meringue topping that makes Key lime pie the ultimate mid-morning or mid-afternoon indulgence. No Key lime pie? Heresy! Needless to say The Spy brought this to the Emperor’s attention before leaving the grim, pie-less darkness of the far future. But it did mean that the first thing The Spy did when infiltrating Saber’s HQ was sneak into the canteen and, disguised as Tim Willits, proceeded to scarf three slices back-to-back.
Glutton? Not at all. Crafty spying legend with ideal vantage point to eavesdrop on Saber’s devs? Absolutely! Mid-scarf, The Spy overheard that Saber’s devs have been granted the extra time from publisher Focus In
