Space Marine 2<\/a> has broken free from the shackles of its Warhammer 40,000 setting and made inroads into the gaming mainstream, and that means there are plenty of players new to its grim dark far future.<\/p>\n

For them Space Marine 2 is a somewhat bewildering experience, as it leans on much of the lore that Warhammer 40,000 owner Games Workshop has built over decades, with hundreds of novels, rule books, and magazine articles fleshing out the background fans know intimately.<\/p>\n

Warhammer 40,000 fans have enjoyed seeing newcomers react in shock at just how grim and dark Space Marine 2 is. And it\u2019s not just the extreme gore, mass death, and terrifying alien enemies that appear in the game either. Perhaps the most disturbing element of Space Marine 2 that newcomers are seeing for the first time are lobotomized babies.<\/p>\n

In Space Marine 2, I really respect how cherubs are one of the first sights to see when on the barge. It’s a good tone setter for those who don’t really know what they’re in for pic.twitter.com\/D3ZHWUiEQY<\/a><\/p>\n

A tweet from Forbes writer Paul Tassi, below, sums up the reaction to Space Marine 2\u2019s winged babies, who seemingly fly about the Battle Barge, the spaceship on which the Space Marines live and plan their missions, performing monotonous busywork.<\/p>\n

uhhh what pic.twitter.com\/j7BvzzcHv3<\/a><\/p>\n

On the face of it, the apparent \u201cgood guys\u201d of Space Marine 2\u2019s story have lobotomized babies cleaning up their mess. Sound messed up? Welcome to Warhammer 40,000\u2019s Imperium of Man, a fascist regime always on the brink of extinction and an extreme vision of the far future in which pretty much anything goes.<\/p>\n

Warhammer 40,000 is intended to be grim and dark, and so stuff like this is par for the course (lobotomized babies aren’t close to being the most disturbing thing in the setting, if you fancy some light reading, check out what the Drukhari get up to in their spare time). Space Marine 2’s far future is a truly miserable place to be, a place in which countless humans die every day from all manner of horrors, be those alien, demon, or humans themselves. Humanity, bogged down by excruciating bureaucracy and religious fanaticism, has collapsed. There is no respite, no joy, only inevitable death.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, Warhammer 40,000 fans are used to things like a \u201clobotomized church menial cyborg flying baby,\u201d as X\/Twitter user ChronoTheHarlequin pointed out. The thing is, with this one in particular, it gets even weirder.<\/p>\n

Seeing tweets like these kinda make me realize how numb I\u2019ve gotten to the weird shit in 40k.<\/p>\n

\u201cLobotomized church menial cyborg flying baby\u201d isn\u2019t something I\u2019d even flinch at now https:\/\/t.co\/YcLQdGCQlC<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 ChronoTheHarlequin (@ChronoHarlequin) September 10, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n

As the unofficial Warhammer podcast Adeptus Ridiculous clarified, most<\/em> of these things aren\u2019t actually lobotomized babies. Most are built from the ground(?) up as flesh automatons with computers for brains (A.I is banned in the 40th millennium because of… reasons). Why do they look like babies? Apart from Warhammer 40,000 being all heavy metal and gothic, according to the lore, it\u2019s for \u201cceremonial purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, most of them are not actually lobotomized babies, most are built from scratch as flesh automatons with computers for brains and just made to look like babies for ceremonial purposes.<\/p>\n

Most of them. https:\/\/t.co\/F0hTIhOvHz<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m loving Space Marine 2 and its attention to detail. The developers at Saber clearly love Warhammer 40,000 and made the effort to capture its oppressive, soul destroying atmosphere. I\u2019ve particularly enjoyed the flavor dialogue you hear from the humans who are charged with keeping the Battle Barge afloat. Some bemoan a lack of sleep because of how hard they\u2019re forced to work. Others express concern at the prospect of making even a single mistake. Given the truly miserable galaxy in which they live, these chaps are the lucky ones. And don\u2019t get me started on the servitors.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got plenty more Space Marine 2 coverage, including details of its first patch<\/a>, its post-launch roadmap<\/a>, and the upcoming addition of class matching for co-op, after players found themselves locked in a class standoff ahead of Operations mode missions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
