No it's designed to be approachable for anyone according to the game's lead director.

[VengefulDevil]

approachable by anyone, but hey, if you want story tidbits to mean more to you just watch a youtube video for the SM1 lore.

[Nick_Wick]

No, but you can play in first game to understand some things

[lostsoul9999]

no but you'll be lost at some points because it does reference the first game a few number of times

[Sovereign]

Playing the first game and having at least a basic understanding of the setting couldn't hurt, but shouldn't be required.

SM1 is amazing, i recommend you take a spin first.

but like, go ahead and play space marines 1? Its only 8 hours long and then go and get Boltgun because that's a half sequel / spin off to space marine
