Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2

About this game

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is the brutal and fast-paced sequel to retro FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.

Following directly on from the end of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, your duty takes you to new locations in a branching, single-player campaign that effortlessly blends the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe with a fast-paced first-person shooter.



Lock in as one of two playable characters, each offering their own unique abilities, weapons, and play style.

Dominate combat as the unrelenting force that is Malum Caedo, a formidable Sternguard Veteran with a reputation for purging heretics. Or quickly take control of the battlefield as the swift and nimble Sister of Battle, Nyra Veyrath, torching enemies and leaving only ashes in her wake.



Take the fight to never-before-seen worlds and vanquish the foes that lurk there. From the colossal heights of a hive city to the impenetrable mangrove swamps of a jungle, you’ll need to overcome the challenges of each biome to complete your mission.



Built on the explosive combat of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, charge headfirst into glorious battle armed with an arsenal of deadly Space Marine weapons. Shred enemies with your lethal chainsword or blast them into an explosion of pixels and blood with your Shotgun!



As your arsenal improves, so do the enemies! The ferocious Bloodletters and their daemonic Juggernauts are a near unstoppable force as they charge into battle hungry for blood!

  What’s New in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2?

  Welcome, loyal subjects of the Emperor! As we work to put the final touches on Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 ahead of its release on October 14th, we'd like to take a moment and recap the biggest new additions and changes we're making in the sequel. We definitely won’t be changing the fast-paced action that made Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun so fun, but we do want to make sure the sequel keeps you on your toes as you face down the forces of Chaos.1) A Campaign Across the CosmosAs you venture across the galaxy, you'll chart your own course through more than 30 levels, bringing justice to planets in dire need of cleansing. A branching campaign will let you choose where you go next, giving you the freedom of forging your own path, with every planet featuring unique environments and challenges. That does mean it’ll be impossible to see everything in one playthrough, so you’ll need to choose carefully when selecting which regions to visit and which ones to surrender to the archenemy…2) A Fiendish Menagerie of FoesThe forces of Chaos never rest, so neither must the might of humanity. We've included 40+ new enemies in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, finally answering your calls to obliterate enemies from the four Chaos god factions (Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne, and Slaanesh) in glorious, visceral fashion. We've also stepped up the complexity of our boss encounters. It's important that they capture that thrill of finally defeating something that feels insurmountable, so we gave the big bads in Boltgun 2 extra design attention to keep you on your toes. We want to make these encounters interesting and epic, whilst making sure they aren’t bullet sponges. We know that won't stop you.3) Fight Alongside Your AlliesUntil this point, Malum Caedo has been single-handedly warring against cultists, Chaos Space Marines and Daemons in his mission to finish the work Captain Titus started. This all changes in the sequel with the introduction of the Death Korps of Krieg. On some planets, these relentl...

  Faction Deep Dive - The Bloodthirsty Khorne

  "Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!" Hello Space Marines,  You may have seen various agents of Khorne across our trailers, screenshots, and even in the demo. So, today, we thought we’d take a closer look at some of the new Khorne enemies.  The ferocious bloodlust of Khorne enters the battlefield in the form of World Eater traitor Astartes and their demonic allies. Malum and Nyra will have to contend with blistering bolter fire and chain axes from World Eaters whilst fending off charging hordes of rage-filled daemons. Bloodletters The foot soldiers of Khorne are manifestations of hate and violence armed with dreaded hellblades and a thirst for blood. They aren’t the toughest of Khorne’s forces but are a deadly foe in close quarters. Equipped with a Hellblade, they’ll leap toward you from a distance before viciously slashing away.Bloodcrushers Bloodcrushers are the deadly combination of a bloodletter mounted upon ferocious steeds called Juggernauts. This rage-filled cavalry charges across the battlefield with bodies of brass and iron that are nearly unstoppable. The blistering speed of these iron steeds means you’ll need to be agile, using the battlefield to your advantage. Upon either unit reaching low or no health, the Bloodcrusher will split, leaving either the Juggernaut or Bloodletter to die while the other bears down upon you intent on revenge. Flesh Hound These howling hounds are wolf-like beasts that hunt their prey with dreadful teeth and vicious talons that can even cut through the armour of Space Marines.  When in battle, they first stalk their prey, circling them at a distance, before rapidly closing in for the kill. They also hunt in packs, so where there is one Flesh Hound, there’s likely more...Khorne Berzerkers The sole purpose of a Khorne Berzerker is to gain glory by slaughtering everything in sight with unfettered rage and bloodlust. They are fearless, bloodthirsty, and unhinged, charging straight into battle to destroy their enem...

  Faction Deep Dive - The Hedonistic Slaanesh

  Loyal Subjects of the Emperor,   It is almost time to purge the foes of the Imperium that march under the banner of the daemonic deity Slaanesh.  The followers of Slaanesh believe in nothing short of excess, corrupting their bodies and minds in the pursuit of twisted pleasures and sensations. Among these followers are the Chaos Space Marines of the Emperor’s Children and the twisted warp forms of Slaaneshi daemons.Daemonettes These monstrous forms of twisted beauty dance around the battlefield, lunging with powerful pincers and claws. Their visage is startlingly otherworldly, as they pounce with quicksilver speed, attacking with such grace and agility that it appears almost as though they’re phasing in and out of reality. Noise Marines The iconic Noise Marines of the Emperor's Children are a true assault on the senses. They are Heretic Astartes equipped with devastating sonic weaponry that sends deafeningly intense shockwaves of discordant sound towards their enemies, rupturing armour and tearing flesh. Tormentors Tormentors are the aggressive front-line troops of the Emperor’s Children, whose speed defies their size within ornately detailed ceramite armour. They will send bolter rounds soaring towards you with supreme accuracy from across the battlefield. But that’s not all... There’s one more Slaanesh enemy that’ll be joining in the fray in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. We’ll leave that as a surprise to discover when it launches later this year.The champions of Slaanesh are just one of the five subfactions of Chaos that Malum and Nyra will have to overcome in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, which launches October 14th on Steam, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version to come at a later date.Keep an eye out for our upcoming Steam articles for deep dives into the other chaotic foes you’ll be facing.

But we also snuck one final surprise in though – a first look at our antagonist.That’s right!
