Noticed by Shacknews, the forum post said the need to add “polish” to the game’s “co-op aspect” is why multiplayer would be delayed. “I will update this thread with all the co-op details when we release them,” a THQ community manager wrote in the forum post, since removed.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is due to release on September 6. In a followup comment to Shacknews, THQ said that the game would include co-op multiplayer and “we look forward to announcing more details later this month”. That notably does not answer whether co-op will be available at launch, of course.

I’ll just go stand in the corner now.

Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 12:12 PMI have high hopes for this one, hope it doesn’t let me down. Co-op would be icing on the cake – Assault Marine + Devastator Marine = good times.

Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 12:19 PMCo-op Multiplayer is the main reason I’m interested in the game, if it’s not there at launch then neither will I be.

Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 2:24 PMYeah, same.
So far no confirmation of any campaign co-op either. From what I can gather it will be a “Last stand” type thing.
Disappointing.
