Sicarius is the current 2nd captain. Some one had to come before him.

My money is that he dies at the end of the game and is replaced by Sicarius...thus allowing it to be canon.

They’re basically an entire chapter of Chaplains. CC lunatics. What every Space Marine should aspire to be, if not trapped in a Matt Ward nightmare.

Captain Titus is from the new Space Marine game, yes?
If so, then I'd be fine if he came before Sicarius. I'm sure they'll work it out somehow.

Same feeling here. GW is under no obligation to pay any consideration to what some licensed product claims.
They may still surprise us - after all, sometimes they do adopt things they like (such as the Last Chancers characters) - but I wouldn't bet any money on it.

I believe it is said somewhere that the game takes place in a seperate timeline (kinda like how the tamurkhan book is set in a different timeline) which would allow them to have a different 2nd company captain, and may also be able to explain the new vengeance grenade launcher. other than this everything else seems to be pretty grimdark, so all is good =)

Hmm, that'd be in line with what George Mann said about such products being "alternative worlds" (though he was referring to all BL novels there) ...
I very much agree on the grimdarkness and all being good, though. Granted, I wish that it wouldn't all be Space Marines all the time, but the game just looks too awesome for me to pass on, and each preview video just increases that feeling.

its probably set prior to Sicarius becoming captain.
just like the Ultramarines movie is set before Sicarius, or possably after Sicarius.
my personal theory is that the movie is set after Sicarius's death, or promotion to either chapter master or first captain(meaning either Agemmen or Calgar is dead)

Yes Invictus is dead. He died during the Battle for Maccragge, when the entire 1st company was wiped out. He was the precussor to Aggeman.

I reckon Titus might go missing, make whether he is alive or dead a mystery to us, and encourage us to think of a possible outcome like with Garviel Loken
Does Relic give any indication whereabouts in the 41st Millennium their games are set?
