Space Marine 2 takes place nearly 200 years after the events of the original game, and both the universe and our titular character Titus have gone through their fair share of changes. 

A lot can happen in the universe of Warhammer 40,000 over the course of 2 centuries. The destruction of Cadia, the return of Primarch Robute Guilliman, a new era of Primaris Space Marines, and so much more.

But, whether you’re going into Space Marine 2 fresh, are a fan of the original, or even a long time 40k fan, I’m here to give you the absolute essential lore and background that you need, leading into Space Marine 2.

  1. Obviously this wasn't EVERYTHING that happened in 40k in the 200ish years between games, but hopefully this served as a good primer to bridge the gap between the original Space Marine and Space Marine 2.
    Looking forward to discussing some of the wider lore stuff with folks in the comments but BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOLKS. Individuals posting them will be sent to the Commissar.
    Now if you'll excuse me, I realised after filming this that my models in the background are far too dusty and are in need of a little TLC..🧹

  7. I still feel like chapters create firstborn Marines and then upgrade others to primaris I just feel like wiping out the first born entirely would be a waste from a tactical and story-driven point but I'm really glad Lieutenant Titus got the upgrade!
