In its predecessor, you play as Titus, which continues in this sequel. Subject to all forms of modification, they are more battle machines than humans. In it, the titular Space Marines or the Adeptus Astartes refers to an order of human defenders.

NotE3 and Summer Game Fest 2023 is over for another year. I was playing it last night and it's stompy, bloody fun. If you want to charge your way through cultists right now, '90s-throwback first-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun offers some excellent chainswording and released just two weeks ago. More of that, with a bit of co-op, looks like a swell time. Warhammer 40k's pulpy space bombast is best articulated via one of those seven-out-of-tens, rather than anything more polished or prestige, and the original Space Marine was definitely one of those seven-out-of-tens: a chunky action game of limited scope but extremely satisfying ultraviolence. I never expected THQ's Space Marine to get a sequel, and certainly not one that continued the original's story, but in some ways it makes sense. It's not clear what if any changes playing in co-op entails, but there's a suggestion missions will be designed to be replayable, so perhaps they're dynamic in some interesting way. He's the star of Space Marine 2's story, but you and two pals will also be able to team up to mince Tyranids in co-op. The trailer above features Captain Titus, a space fascist the press release describes as a "fan-favorite".
