Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom

During the Warhammer Skulls event in 2026, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom was unveiled. This new premium retro first-person shooter (FPS) is being developed by Nitro Games and will be available on mobile devices such as iOS and Android.

According to the official descriptions, Boltgun Boom offers several chapters from the Boltgun series and retains the signature retro style that fans of the franchise appreciate. A teaser video shows footage that is barely distinguishable from its console and PC counterparts. Players can already pre-register for the game, with sign-ups available on both iOS and Android.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2

Alongside Boltgun Boom, the demo for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is now available on Steam. It is a direct sequel to the first Boltgun game and will later be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The demo includes two levels and introduces multiple playable characters. Players can take control of Malum Caedo, who appears to be the playable character from the first game, or choose the more agile Nyra Veyrath.

Gameplay and style

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun and its successors combine elements of classic 1990s shooters with modern gameplay innovations. This makes the games accessible to both new players and veterans of the franchise.
