Space Marine 2’s central character, Titus, is envisioned as a stoic death machine with tight emotional control. However, the game’s photo mode may have challenged that perception.
Set in the grim darkness of the far future, Space Marine 2 effectively portrays the relentless nature of war. It does an exceptional job recreating the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and our review called it ‘the Warhammer game fans have been waiting for,’ owing much to its faithful representation of the franchise’s essence.
In the face of the horrific realities of fighting an eternal war across multiple fronts, no faction in Games Workshop’s universe is more prepared to handle such adversity than the Space Marines. These genetic warriors are designed to confront the horrors of a chaotic galaxy with unwavering resolve. Space Marine 2’s Demetrian Titus embodies this ideal.
After experimenting in the game’s photo mode, Reddit user Alternative-Motor-44 discovered a peculiar expression on Titus’ face. The unsettling look gave rise to questions about whether the Ultramarine lieutenant is beginning to buckle under pressure.

The clip shared on the game’s Subreddit showcases classic action for Space Marine 2, featuring Lieutenant Titus engaged in brutal combat, thrusting the forelimb of a Tyranid warrior down its own throat—a quintessential Warhammer moment.
Upon closer examination of Titus’ face, players can see a glassy-eyed expression and an unsettling smile. This intriguing look raised concerns about the character’s mental state.
Yet, other users seemed unconcerned. “Of course he’s okay! By the Throne, he’s having the time of his life,” remarked one player. “That’s the face of a man who loves his job,” another chimed in.
While the facial rendering and animation in Space Marine 2’s cutscenes are typically impressive, there appears to be a noticeable difference during gameplay, which could result in some amusing screenshots for those who enjoy capturing gameplay moments.
