There are currently no plans to implement a PvEvP mode in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, its game director has said.
Speaking during an interview with MP1st, Dmitry Grigorenko said that this type of mode is the “holy grail” of video game design, but confirmed there are “no plans for it” to be added to Space Marine 2.
It sounds great on paper, but when you actually start trying, it becomes apparent that it’s very annoying when you fight other players only to get back-stabbed by an AI opponent. This is why most of the games are trying to ensure that PvP and PvE aspects don’t intersect that much, i.e. AI opponents are restricted to specific places on maps, etc. It’s a complicated mode to implement that would change the experience significantly, so I’m afraid there are no plans for it.
