Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a direct sequel to the game released in 2013. You’ll follow Ultramarine Lieutenant Titus, who was accused of heresy and demoted even after stopping an uprising of Chaos worshipers.

In this story, Lieutenant Titus is tasked with fighting off the Tyranids, an insectoid race driven by a hive mind and set on ravaging the resources from every planet. The forces of Chaos have also been teased to be part of this adventure, so Titus and his squad will once again have to figure out how to confront these threats.
