Players will be back in the boots of Ultramarine hero Lieutenant Titus in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and the game pits him and his allies Chairon and Gadriel against the Tyranids. Using both melee and ranged combat with the bolter and chainsword, the view gets redder and redder as Titus churns through the enemies. Check it out below:

For a few seconds, Titus is shown advancing towards Chaos marines somewhere under a purple sky, before the trailer ends and encourages players to sign up for the closed beta.

Announced in The Game Awards 2021 showcase, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is in the works with Saber Interactive. The developer, with divisions in three different continents, is most famous for its remake of Halo: Combat Evolved as well as World War Z and its port of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Nintendo Switch.
