Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2 Is Officially Happening With a Retro-Style Sequel

The killing of those deemed heretics carries on, as the successor to Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – maintaining its nostalgic first-person shooter approach – has now been officially unveiled and promises to be larger in nearly every aspect.

The video game titled “Boltgun 2” is being crafted by Auroch Digital and slated for launch in 2026 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. The game was unveiled at the Warhammer Skulls 2025 event, and based on the early sneak peek, it’s clear that they aim to intensify chainsword action and surpass the first version.

In the continuation of the initial game, we find ourselves once more with Malum Caedo, a rugged and straightforward Space Marine hero, taking center stage. This time around, players will don their power armor yet again to confront the minions of Chaos. However, unlike before, the battlefield has expanded significantly.

In a fresh take, Boltgun 2 abandons the straightforward maze-like levels and presents a branching storyline where your decisions influence the mission progression. The settings are diverse and span from the hive cities, swampy jungles, to other challenging terrains inspired by the Warhammer 40K universe.

This game maintains the classic feel of old-school shooters from the ’90s, drawing inspiration particularly from games such as Doom and Quake. It offers fluid movement and high-octane action. The battle sequences remain intense and chaotic, though they’ve been significantly refined for a better gaming experience.

In this updated roster, you’ll find familiar foes like Nurglings and Chaos Cultists, but also new threats, including Bloodletters mounted on colossal Juggernauts.

In this updated version, the arsenal has been enhanced to offer a wider variety of ways to dismantle opponents into gruesome pieces. To prevent players from getting disoriented amidst the chaos, the sequel incorporates a novel in-game navigation system that assists in navigating through the mayhem on complex maps.

While Boltgun 2 may take some time before it’s released, enthusiasts won’t be left waiting for their Warhammer 40K experience. There are other exciting developments happening across the broader Warhammer 40K universe.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to be in for an extraordinary year! We’ve got Space Marine 2, Dark Heresy on the horizon, along with further remasters and expansions. Boltgun 2 isn’t just building on its past success; it’s going all-in. Expect more weapons, more formidable enemies, greater freedom, and a style that will leave you breathless!

The game combines traditional First-Person Shooter (FPS) action with Warhammer 40K’s distinctive ruthless style. If the first installment left you eager to eradicate the heretics, the sequel seems promising in offering additional motivations for continuing your relentless pursuit of obliterating them.
