Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2’s Opportunity to Bring One Boltgun Hero Into the Fold Is Too Good to Miss

With Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 inching ever closer to its final release, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are close to bringing Demetrian Titus back into the action with some next-gen goodness thrown his way.

With a few upgrades making Titus take on the role of a Primaris Space Marine, the new title combines hack n’ slash mechanics with a third-person shooter game to deliver a Warhammer 40K experience like no other with the promise of formidable new threats for veterans and rookies alike to test their skills on.

What Could Be In Store for Titus in Space Marine 2?

While details about the new game are scarce, fans have already been promised a new enemy race to take on in the form of the Tyranids – terrifying alienoids looking to exterminate all life in the galaxy. An excellent callback to the previous title sees the return of Brother-Sergeant Gadriel and Brother Chairon, Titus’ former comrades, to help in his quest for redemption following the events of the original Space Marine.

Helping the three Space Marines take on hordes of Tyranids is a roster of deadly new weapons that are all set to find a lot of use in players’ hands. The announcement of one particular weapon has Space Marine 2 fans hoping to see the return of another popular character from the Warhammer 40K franchise considering his expertise with it.

Could Malum Caedo Find His Way Into Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2?

With the Heavy Bolter making an appearance in Space Marine 2, many players are speculating about the return of Malum Caedo, the protagonist of Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, to Titus’ new command. Considering that Boltgun was set after the events of Space Marine and Caedo’s resolve in fighting the remaining forces of Chaos at the end of his adventure, he could very well find his way into the new game wielding his signature weapon with style – and substance.

Many Warhammer 40K players have taken to Reddit to wonder if Caedo may appear in the new title, with the post below showcasing just how excited they would be to see him return.

Some players have already found a way to introduce Caedo to Titus’ crew with some amusing banter between the two Space Marines.

Another player pointed out that a bundle on Steam already has Space Marine and Boltgun offered together in one package – demonstrating that Caedo’s appearance could very well be a matter of continuity for the new game.

Fans won’t have to wait too long to find out if Caedo is indeed making an appearance as Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 releases in September this year.
