In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. But amidst the endless battles and countless horrors that plague the Warhammer 40K universe, there exists a beacon of hope: the Space Marines. These genetically-enhanced super-soldiers are the ultimate defenders of humanity, and their legend has grown to mythical proportions among the common citizens of the Imperium.
Now, with the highly anticipated release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on the horizon, fans are eagerly devouring any and all information about the game. The recently released behind-the-scenes trailer has only served to stoke the flames of excitement—offering yet another highly promising glimpse of the game’s stunning visuals, intense action, and the awe-inspiring presence of the Space Marines themselves.
Warhammer 40K’s Angels of Death: Legends Among Men
In the trailer, Oliver Hollis-Leick, creative director at Saber Interactive, sheds light on the mythical status that Space Marines hold in the eyes of the Imperium’s citizens:
Most human beings in this world will never see a Space Marine. They’re the stuff of Legends. They’re known as the ‘Angels of Death’, and so, when one appears on the battlefield—it’s like seeing an angel of God.
In the Warhammer 40K universe, the Space Marines are more than just elite soldiers. They are demigods, living embodiments of the Emperor’s will, whose mere presence on the battlefield can turn the tide of war and inspire unshakable loyalty in the hearts of their allies.
But it’s not just the commonfolk who hold the Space Marines in such high regard. Even the battle-hardened soldiers of the Astra Militarum, who have faced the horrors of the galaxy firsthand, can’t help but be awed by the sheer might and legend of the Adeptus Astartes.
To fight alongside a Space Marine is considered the highest honor—a tale to be passed down through generations of Guardsmen.
It’s this sense of awe and reverence that Saber Interactive seems determined to capture in Space Marine 2. From the meticulously detailed power armor to the earth-shattering impact of their weapons, every aspect of the game seems designed to make players feel like they are truly embodying these legendary warriors!
