All good things come to those who wait, and in this case, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is going to be worth it.

Just have a look at this latest trailer, showcasing the combat and gameplay overview to see why:
From the press release:
Play as Lieutenant Titus and Fight the Tyranids in All-Out Galactic Warfare
Continue the story of legendary Ultramarines Lieutenant Demetrian Titus a hundred years after the events of Space Marine and fight the endless Tyranid swarms to defend the Imperium. Unleash Titus’ superhuman skill and wide-ranging arsenal solo, or with up to two friends playing as Titus’ battle-brothers Chairon and Gadriel in seamless drop-in/drop-out co-op.
Customise Your Space Marines and Their Loadouts in PvE and PvP
Play as one of six playable classes (Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper, and Heavy) in “Operations” (PvE) and “Eternal War” (PvP) modes and make them your own with Space Marine 2’s deep customization system for your armour and weapons.
In “Operations” mode, use Armoury Data and experience earned on the battlefield to upgrade each class with up to 25 perks to shape your playstyle. Armoury Data will also let you level up your weapons with each new mission to unlock more powerful variants and unique cosmetics. The armour and weapon cosmetics earned in “Operations” will even be available for your “Eternal War” matches, though your perks and weapon upgrades will remain exclusive to the PvE experience for balancing purposes.
