There’s big news for Warhammer 40k fans. The sequel to Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine is in development. Originally created by Games Workshop Group, a British company devoted to miniature WarGames, the franchise began with a board game that surfaced in 1983. This franchise has evolved over the years, spawning numerous literary works and video games, one of the most well known as 2011 Space Marine, which is now getting a massive sequel more than a decade later, so get ready because we’re delving back into the grim and dark realms of the 41st Millennium with the return of Captain Titus and Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2. Here are the five things we know so far.
What is Warhammer?
The Warhammer franchise can be quite confusing to the uninitiated. Let me break it down for you. You see Warhammer is divided into three main settings: Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The original Warhammer Fantasy is a world that incorporates a mix of historical low and high fantasy aspects. Notable titles like the MMO Vermintide, and the total war games exist within the setting. Warhammer Age of Sigmar takes place in the far future of Warhammer Fantasy. There are many similarities between the two but Age of Sigmar really ramps up the fantasy aspect.
Warhammer 40k, a science fantasy offshoot evolved into an independent entity set around 39,000 years in the future. It lacks a direct connection to Warhammer Fantasy in terms of floors. There are a huge number of games in the 40k series specifically and this one takes place right after the first game Warhammer 40k Space Marine.
Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2- Story
Before we discuss the story in Space Marine 2 here’s the mostly spoiler free recap of the first installment. In the aftermath of an orc invasion on forge world Griha Imperial commanders grapple with a substantial loss in industrial output. To counter this they deploy Space Marines led by Captain Titus and his squad to reclaim control. Space Marines also known as the Adeptus Astartes are the greatest warriors of mankind. However, they are barely human at all, very genetically modified bodies and undergoing harsh and rigorous training. And so the Space Marines collaborate with the remaining Imperial Guard in a joint effort against the orc threats as they navigate the challenges posed by the orcs.
The story takes a drastic turn with a revolution of betrayal from within. The story is characterized by intense battles, war strategy, and unforeseen twists all building toward a gripping climax that determines the fate of Gaia and the Space Marines. Fast forward to Space Marine 2 end our seasons Ultra Marine Titus has been accused of heresy and demoted to the rank of Lieutenant within the second company. He now embarks on a journey that spans two planets and delves into the depths of the Rubicon Primaris all to stop the newest threat on the horizon. Tyranids formidable insectoid alien race as the fourth triad war unfolds. Not only will Titus deal with relentless swarms of insectoid monstrosities, but also the internal struggles within the ultra Marines.
What adds an intriguing layer is Titus is even more powerful now thanks to his RubyCon primary surgery enhancing his already augmented Space Marine physiology. The latest trailer also hinted at the return of the chaos forces who are the servants of four evil Gods seeking control over humanity souls, these outlaws abandoned the authoritarian Imperium of men in favor of new rules. The descendants of those Marines who remained faithful during the Great betrayal 10,000 years ago especially despise the servants of chaos, who are being led by traders Space Marines. Titus and his squad certainly have their work cut out for them dealing with both the Tyranids and the devout followers of chaos.
