If you’ve just jumped into Space Marine 2, the latest instalment in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and you’re wondering what in the Emperor’s name is going on, don’t worry – you’re not alone.
The game drops you right into the thick of things and assumes you’ve got the memory of a Custodes, recalling every detail from the last game, which came out, oh, just 13 years ago.
And while you were at it, it also hopes you kept tabs on all the galaxy-shattering events since then. Primaris Marines? Rubric Marines? There’s a lot to keep track of.

But fear not, for all is not lost! Clive Standen, the man behind Lieutenant Titus’ glorious grimdark jawline, is here to save the day with Titus Talks, a three-part video series that takes you back to basics.
Not only will this series help you wrap your head around what in the name of the Omnissiah is happening, but it also serves as a crash course in the chaotic wonders of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
As we speak, the first episode is already live, and you can check it out through the link below. The next episode promises to dig deeper, answering the age-old question: “What exactly is a Space Marine, and why do they need so much armour just to fight some bugs?”
