Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 - Official "Forging a Sequel" Trailer

It's not easy to make a sequel to one of the best video games ever! Go behind the scenes on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

[@Mossyyyyyyy]

"I wanted to step out of your shadow. You understand that, don’t you? But when I stepped out of it there was… there was no sunlight. No sunlight at all." Rollo Titus.

[@diehard0029]

I’m glad someone noticed he was from Vikings 😂

[@Zeroground300]

I bet GW asked sabre to demote Titus so they can sell us another Primaris Lieutenant.

[@ImperialGit]

When you know, you know ;)

[@Kobble03]

Even though it's definitely rooted in GW wanting a model to sell, at least we all know (ass of playing the first game) it would make sense storywise. After being so grilled by the Inquisition and time away from the chapter, they most likely would've filled the captain spot quickly and wouldn't let him slide back in despite his innocence. No one would want him to be a captain while possibly connected to Chaos.

[@haroonmohammed6351]

We should be glad that Titus isn't dead, because he was suspected by the inquisition for heresy. Instead y'all should be more bothered about the female custodes. Are y'all cool with GW releasing a female custodes cosmetics or skin in some future patch in this game ?

[@guankzmm4176]

@@haroonmohammed6351custodies were never explicitly male though like space marines, I agree it’s a little silly but overall if that’s were it stops I see no greater issue with it, I mean they were handcrafted after all, I could totally see Big E being like, “I’ll make a couple of them women as a small experiment”

I wondering if we'll see Titus's transformation into a Primaris or if itll be glossed over

[@ImperialGit]

Probably just hinted at, like with all model releases. It's basically a medical procedure; not all that interesting for a story.

[@jonathanryan9946]

It happened before the game, in blurbs GW released that were just several paragraphs long. However obviously we could get flashbacks that expand on it. Anyways, if you're interested here's what I recall from the blurbs if you don't mind a minor potential spoiler. Basically the Inquisitor that took him, put him in status between torture sessions. Over 100 years past before that Inquisitor fell to Chaos. Another Inquisitor found Titus a dozen of other captured and apparently honorable Space Marines that Inquisitor was torturing too. The new Inquisitor who found them put all those Space Marines into Death Watch, letting them be of service again but kinda letting them think they brought dishonor to their chapters, including Titus. They all took new names during this period. Anyways, they were sent to stop Tyranids, and a Carnifax kinda killed most of them. Titus was badly injured and by this point nearing the last survivor. When Ultramarine reinforcements arrived in system and this included Chief Librarian Tigurius who had meet Titus, obviously, before and sensed him. So they Tigurius redirected the Ultramarines to save Titus. Titus was the last survivor when they arrived and near death. Tigurius cleared him of being a heritage as he was previously charged as and to save his life they upgraded him to a Primaris. Thankfully it worked, Tigurius's words made sure he was accepted back but as you saw in the trailers not every marine was so accepting and some still had reservations. Tigurius wasn't able to figure out why Titus was nearly immune to Chaos and the Warp, only that he's not influenced by it or a dormant psyker. Hence the reservations. Also after Titus was taken Cato Sicarius became the new 2nd company Captain. Though Roboute Guilliman has since promoted him to being one of his personal guards. The new 2nd company Captain is Sevastus Acheran, which happened after Cato himself was lost in the Warp for over 5 years.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@mindsoulbody]

As a veteran fan of warhammer franchise anyone would expect great things from this game. As a veteran of playing many games over many years, we also expect many great things from this game. Personally, I've seen plenty of cool "mini documentary to pump you up" videos like this before. We will find out if the product is worth it. We have seen time and time again how advertisement is one thing but game is another. The first one was good but it lacked quite a bit. This time they are focusing on epic battle against many Tyranid but that stuff been done in other games too. Not being pessimistic but I will judge the game when it comes out. When you love a franchise, and then watch video like this with good presentation and epic music, you get even more hyped (the very purpose of these videos to begin with). But if you've seen the game industry in last few years, and have played 100s if not 1000s of games of all genre, this should not hype you up. Rather you should be cautiously optimistic. Let the final product speak volume. Not these people who are doing "acting during mocap" or "no matter what the fans are asking, we're asking for even more" lines. These are just words, let the action of the very product speak volume and give meaning to their comments and efforts. TLDR: Wait for review before you buy it.
