And to fulfill that expectation, Willits left no stone unturned. That is why he confirmed that the popular character of the first game, Captain Demetrian Titus, will be a part of the sequel too. He stated:

Definitely. Our storyline with Titus

Titus was a firstborn captain and commander of the Ultramarines 2nd Company and later a Primaris Marine Lieutenant. He fought for the Imperium of Man for more than 200 Terran years, and that is why he is considered to be one of the greatest heroes of the Ultramarines. And he took the spotlight in Space Marine and made the title huge.

Different Path for Titus in Space Marine 2

At the end of the first game, Titus was demoted. After that, he went on to spend 200 years in Deathwatch. That is why the Chief Creative Officer stated that the upcoming game“is a kind of fresh start for him.”

Willits also explained why Titus’ journey in this game is going to be a bit different:

We tried to add more personality and emotions into his story and his relationship with his squadmates and how they feel about him. He needs to win their trust while also saving the universe, so it is more than just a run-and-gun game. Titus’s story is an important part of the experience.
