Boltgun 2 Drops This October with a Doom Legend Cameo

Remember the adrenaline rush of blasting through hordes of enemies in the original Boltgun? Well, get ready to do it all over again, because Boltgun 2 is almost here. And this time, it's bringing some serious firepower in the audio department.

On October 14, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Switch 2 version following shortly after. If you've been craving more of that classic boomer-shooter gameplay, this is your moment.

But here's the kicker: the game features a special guest that'll make any FPS fan's heart race. Mick Gordon, the legendary composer behind the modern Doom and Wolfenstein soundtracks, has contributed a track for the final boss fight. If you've ever headbanged to his iconic riffs, you know this is going to be epic. The announcement calls it a "cameo," but for us, it's a full-blown musical invasion.

So, what can you expect from the sequel? For starters, you'll have a choice of two heroes: returning Ultramarine Malum Caedo or the new Battle Sister Nyra Veyrath. That's right, you can now bring the Emperor's fury as a sister of battle, adding a fresh twist to the demon-slaying formula.

Your main target this time? Vashtorr, a daemonic demigod who's causing all sorts of trouble. Along with his minions, you'll be carving a path of destruction through the Warhammer universe. And if the first game is any indication, the difficulty will be brutal. Expect to die, respawn, and die again—but in the most satisfying way possible.

With its retro-inspired visuals and modern QoL improvements, Boltgun 2 is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the genre and the franchise. And with Mick Gordon's track blasting during the climactic showdown, it's going to be an unforgettable finale.

Are you ready to purge some heretics? Will you be picking this up on day one? Let us know which character you'll choose and if you're as hyped about Mick Gordon's involvement as we are!
