Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Gets Behind-the-Scenes Video

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is, as the title suggests, a sequel to the original Warhammer 40K: Space Marine game. Like the original, it will feature a third-person perspective, plenty of hacking and slashing, and Warhammer 40K's Ultramarine Captain Titus as its protagonist. Space Marine 2 was first unveiled at the Game Awards in 2021, surprising many fans who had assumed for a while that the older Space Marine would not be getting a sequel.

In the initial Space Marine 2 reveal, fans got a look at Titus once again as he and his Space Marine companions stepped into combat against a Xenos threat. Rather than facing Greenskins like in Space Marine, it seems the antagonists of Space Marine 2 will be Tyranids, as shown both in the initial trailer and in a new behind-the-scenes video posted on Focus Entertainment's YouTube channel. The video begins by showing off some tabletop Space Marine models. Strangely, these Space Marines are not fighting Tyranids in the footage shown, but instead are battling against daemons of Khorne, perhaps indicating that Chaos could once again prove to be the main antagonist of a Space Marine title.
