A Small Tweak To Warhammer 40,000K: Space Marine 2’s Ending Could Have Big Lore Implications
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2’s latest update added new features, balance changes, and some welcome quality-of-life adjustments to developer Saber Interactive’s grimdark shooter, but it’s one small change to the game’s ending that has fans buzzing.
Spoilers for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2’s ending ahead.
During the final moments of Space Marine 2’s campaign, Lieutenant Titus and his squad find themselves battling against the force of Chaos in the Immaterium. It’s in the game’s final cutscene that we see Titus reach out to destroy a Chaos artifact, nearly overwhelmed by the forces of the Warp. As he struggles, a voice (one that prior to Space Marine 2’s patch 3.0 was attributed to Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar) tells Titus “Rise, son of Gulliman.” Titus then overcomes the Chaos energy and destroys the artifact.
