Fantastic PlayStation Plus boomer shooter gets official sequel announcement

One of the best boomer shooters on the market is getting an official sequel, coming out next year for all platforms.

As a Warhammer fan I’ve been tuning into today’s Warhammer: Skulls livestream event, and I was over the moon to see Warhammer 40k: Boltgun is getting a sequel.

If you haven’t played the first game yet, it’s currently available for free as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription, and I’d urge you to give it a go as it’s a lot of fun.

The game follows the space marine Malum Caedo, in events set directly after the story of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.

Players will traverse dangerous worlds and come face-to-face with daemons, heretics and other deadly threats as they rip and tear through hordes of monstrous foes, with a large assortment of destructive weapons at your disposal.

The sequel looks to be much of the same, though with a new threat emerging and likely more deadly toys for Malum to play with.

In a statement to GAMINGbible the principal designer for the game, Matt Bone said: “Boltgun is a game close to all our hearts and we couldn't wait to get stuck into a sequel - especially as we have a ton of ideas we've been itching to try.

“We can't share too much yet, but we're looking to expand on all the things players liked about the first game - the fast-paced retro shooter gameplay, its over-the-top grimdark tone - whilst throwing in plenty of new surprises.”

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 will release on PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms sometime in 2026, but in the meantime you can play a new version of the first game, Warhammer 40k: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance, for free on PC right now.
