A seemingly innocuous change made to Space Marine 2<\/a> as part of this week\u2019s big Patch 3.0 has got Warhammer 40,000 lore fans excited about potentially huge implications for the game\u2019s story and the wider setting itself.<\/p>\n

Warning!<\/strong><\/em> Huge spoilers for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 follow:<\/em><\/p>\n

Space Marine 2 patch 3.0<\/a>, released yesterday, September 26, made a long list of welcome changes to the game, but one line in particular buried within the patch notes suggests the Emperor himself played a key role in the story all along.<\/p>\n

Pre-patch, during the climax of Space Marine 2, we see a cutscene in which protagonist Lieutenant Titus almost dies while destroying a Chaos artifact. He then hears a voice that says: “Rise, son of Guilliman.”<\/p>\n

According to the game\u2019s subtitles, that line \u2014 again, pre-patch \u2014 was attributed to Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. Fans took it as an odd thing for Calgar to say to Titus, given he also is a son of Roboute Guilliman, the primarch from which all Ultramarines are based. (Check out the cutscene in the video below.)<\/p>\n

Now, onto patch 3.0. Here\u2019s the change in question:<\/p>\n

Fixed an unidentified voice at the end of the story that was assigned to the wrong character.<\/p>\n

Assigned to the wrong character, you say? So, who is the right <\/em>character? The same cutscene now attributes the line to [Voice], which is ambiguous, but Warhammer 40,000 lore fans have a clear idea who this voice belongs to: the Emperor himself.<\/p>\n

If true, this has big implications for Space Marine 2\u2019s story, the nature of Titus\u2019 abilities not just in this game but the first, and any role he might play in the ongoing narrative. But given Titus is now part of the Warhammer 40,000 canon (he has his own model you can play on Games Workshop\u2019s tabletop game and the company has even released an official lore video delving into Titus\u2019 backstory on Warhammer TV), fans are taking this as further evidence of the Emperor\u2019s resurgence across the galaxy.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the Emperor of Mankind is the reigning monarch of the Imperium of Man whose slowly decaying body has sat immobile within the Golden Throne of Terra for over 10,000 years. But that hasn\u2019t stopped the Emperor, the most powerful psyker to have ever existed, from seemingly stepping in every now and then to help humanity out in its darkest hours.<\/p>\n

At this point in the ongoing (and slow moving!) Warhammer 40,000 storyline, there is growing evidence to suggest the Emperor is finally stirring, with some convinced his return proper is coming sooner rather than later. Indeed, in Warhammer 40,000 novel Godblight, the Emperor uses Guilliman as a vessel to burn down the Garden of Nurgle from within the Warp, miraculously reviving his son in the process.<\/p>\n

Warhammer 40,000 fans now believe the Emperor is doing something similar with Titus. Titus\u2019 unexplained immunity to the corrupting influence of Chaos during the Space Marine games may have been the Emperor\u2019s doing all along. Indeed Titus\u2019 ability to interact with the Chaos artifact and destroy it might be because he is blessed by the Emperor. As the ending of Space Marine 2 makes clear, the Inquisition\u2019s suspicion of Titus and his abilities continues despite his heroics. But perhaps in the inevitable Space Marine 3 we\u2019ll see the truth of the Emperor\u2019s involvement, and Titus finally clear of the Inquisition’s attention.<\/p>\n

For now, Space Marine 2 and Warhammer 40,000 lore fans are simply enjoying the debate this change has sparked, and have pointed to a tease<\/a> by creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick about whether the line of dialogue in question does indeed come from the Emperor. Here\u2019s his response:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is open to individual interpretation. It could be in Titus’s mind, could be Calgar, or it could be the Emperor (though GW might disagree on that). I know who I meant it to be when I wrote it but I’ll keep that to myself ;)\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN recently interviewed Saber chief creative officer Tim Willits about the boost he expects the PS5 Pro will give the game<\/a>, and how the breakout success of Space Marine 2 has \u201cchanged everything\u201d for the studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Warhammer 40,000 superfan Henry Cavill has been playing Space Marine 2 and delivered his verdict<\/a>, and we also have details on what fans can expect from Space Marine 2\u2019s seasonal post-launch content model<\/a>. Season 2 runs from October until the end of 2024, and includes a new Operations map, a new enemy, a harder difficulty level, a new weapon, and various other improvements.<\/p>\n
