BRISTOL, England (May 21st, 2026) – Auroch Digital and Big Fan Games have released the debut playable demo for the incredible upcoming retro shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, while unveiling a dazzling, bloodsoaked new trailer as part of the Warhammer Skulls Showcase 2026. The demo and trailer hit today ahead of the game’s full release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year.
The new footage showcases the white-knuckle strafing thrills and devastating arsenal fans can expect when they lock and load in the newly released demo:
Picking up where you left off at the end of the original and best-selling Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Boltgun 2 takes you to all-new locations in a branching, single-player campaign with more guns, more enemies, more exploration and more of, well, everything.
Jump into the free demo now to explore two different levels as either of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2’s playable characters, the tanky powerhouse Malum Caedo or the agile, blade-wielding Nyra Veyrath, while experiencing this fast, action-heavy blast into the world of Warhammer 40,000. Face the perilous wilds of a Death World and explore an overgrown mangrove swamp swarmed with deranged Nurgle daemons and cultists. But enemy forces aren’t the only dangers you’ll need to watch out for…
The demo also transports you to a frozen battlefield where you’ll visit an icy Imperial facility overrun with the forces of Chaos. There you’ll battle the new Khorne enemies – if you dare to break the ice.
Wield devastating new weapons in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 as you charge into glorious battle, reducing heretics and traitors alike to heaps of pixelated gore. Each playable warrior offers their own unique weapons, abilities and playstyles. Battle fan-favorite foes like the sassy Nurglings and Chaos Cultists, as well as all-new enemies. The ferocious Bloodletters and their bloodthirsty Juggernauts are just the beginning. Greater terrors await in the Emperor’s endless war.
