Space Marine 2 played things fairly safe from a narrative perspective.
Titus was his usual honourable self, his period in exile with the Deathwatch relegated to the tutorial.
However, things could have been different.
I had some big plans for Titus, van Lierop told Penny Arcade.
He would be kicked out as a consequenceexiled, which would basically be a death sentence for him.
This was intimated by his arrest at the end of the first game.
Hed probably be Chaotic Good, fighting for the Emperor but outside the constraints of the Codex Astartes.
But van Lierop didnt just have a plan for Space Marine 2.
However, Relic has previous.
What Will We See In Space Marine 3?
What were getting instead is Necrons.
The presence of Chaos is also a given, which gives us our two opposing factions.
NecronsandNurgle daemons could risk feeling boring, with both factions known for their abilities to soak up damage.
Could that mean we have a Slaanesh force on the cards?
As for Titus, I fully expect him to tread the straight and narrow.
Perhaps the stakes will rise so high that well see a Primarch get involved.
After the success of Space Marine 2, Saber can either take some risks or play it safe.
I suspect it will do the former, iterating rather than reinventing.
Can the worlds of Warhammer and Avowed meet?
