The gaming industry's annual April Fools' Day tradition has passed, but Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's clever prank might leave a lasting impression. Publisher Focus Entertainment playfully announced a Chaplain class DLC release on April 1st, complete with hilarious gameplay tweaks.
This fictional update promised to let players experience the campaign as the rule-obsessed Chaplain, complete with an "Enhanced Dialogue System" where he'd constantly quote the Codex Astartes. The joke weaponized fans' established frustration with the overly suspicious Chaplain Quintus from the actual campaign.
In the game's story, Chaplain Quintus monitors protagonist Titus with paranoid intensity, embodying the Imperium's rigid orthodoxy despite Titus's proven loyalty. The character's devotion to protocol over pragmatism has made him a meme favorite within the community.
The April Fools' concept struck a chord, with some players actually wanting a Chaplain class - though likely without the annoying rule-enforcement mechanics. The viral reception highlights the character's popularity and the creative ways players engage with Warhammer 40K's lore.
While Space Marine 2 is indeed getting new classes soon (possibly Apothecary or Librarian), the team maintains momentum with Patch 7 coming mid-April and more PvE content planned. The game continues expanding even as development begins on Space Marine 3.
