Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games in the entire Warhammer franchise, and we’ll be able to play it very soon. Even better, it’s going to feature a guest appearance by one of the most legendary composers in the history of first-person shooters.
On October 14, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will release across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Switch 2 release to follow “shortly after” the other versions, according to the official announcement.
If you like the tune blasting in the game’s release-date trailer, there’s a good reason for that: Mick Gordon of Doom and Wolfenstein fame is responsible. His composition is described as a “cameo” appearance and will play during the final boss fight. If that doesn’t get you pumped to slay the enemies of the Emperor, nothing will.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 expands on the first game’s boomer-shooter action, letting you play as either Ultramarine Malum Caedo like in the first game or as Battle Sister Nyra Veyrath. You’ll be going up against the daemonic demigod Vashtorr as well as countless other enemies, and if it’s anything like the first game, you can expect to be turning lots of them into tiny pieces of bloody flesh. The first game was also brutally difficult, and we expect the sequel to follow suit.
