If you thought the first Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun was going to politely calm down in the sequel, absolutely not. Boltgun 2 has dropped a new gameplay trailer, confirming the return of a fan-favourite nemesis and giving us our first proper look at the Daemons of Slaanesh and the Death Guard you’ll be purging when the gloriously retro FPS launches later this year.
And yes, it’s still doing that delicious 90s throwback thing where everything explodes into chunky pixels, and you feel morally compelled to shout “FOR THE EMPEROR” at your monitor.
Slaanesh Returns (And So Does the Gross Part of the Internet)
The trailer reveals the Daemons of Slaanesh and Death Guard among the enemies you’ll face, alongside familiar nuisances like Nurglings and Chaos Cultists.
If you’re a Boltgun sicko (complimentary), you already know what this means. Fast movement, brutal weapons, and a bestiary that keeps escalating until your brain is just a fog of adrenaline and holy violence.

Two Playable Characters This Time
Boltgun 2 picks up where the first game left off, but it’s expanding the structure into a branching single-player campaign, and you’ll choose between two leads:
- Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath
- Ultramarine Malum Caedo
Each has its own weapons, abilities, and playstyle, which is extremely good news if you like replaying a campaign just to see how differently it breaks when you change your build and go feral in a new direction.
Enemies: Old Annoyances, New Nightmares
Beyond Nurglings and cultists, the trailer calls out a few more nasties:
- Bloodletters
- Juggernauts
- Daemons of Slaanesh
- Death Guard
The pitch is basically: you will kill a lot of things, and then you will kill bigger, worse things.
