Auroch Digital is developing Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, a sequel to its boomer shooter, set to launch on October 14. The game adds a second playable character, branching paths, and new content, with a demo already available on Steam.
Auroch Digital's Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is set to launch on October 14, following a demo release during Steam Next Fest in June. The sequel expands the original's retro-FPS formula with two playable characters: Malum Caedo, returning from the first game, and Nayla Bellas, a Battle Sister with higher mobility. The demo introduced Nyla Belas (spelled differently in the demo announcement) as the new character, but the final announcement confirms Nayla Bellas as the second protagonist.
The game adds branching campaign paths, new enemies from Khorne and Slaanesh, new weapons such as the Condemnor Stake Thrower, and a weapon selection wheel. A navigation guide was also confirmed. Mick Gordon contributes the track Ascent of the Arkifane. The demo and a 40-minute gameplay video gave players a clearer picture of the sequel's expanded scope ahead of its 2026 release window, which was later pinned to October 14.
The sequel builds on the original's single-character run by adding a second playable character and player-requested quality-of-life features. The publisher is Devolver Digital and Big Fan Games, with Auroch Digital developing.
