    Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Unleashes the Emperor’s Wrath with New Playable Character

    – Step into the boots of Nyra Veyrath and wage ferocious war –

    BRISTOL, England (Oct. 28, 2025)Big Fan (Monster Train 2), a Devolver Digital publishing label, and developer Auroch Digital today blasted out a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the retro FPS. The trailer’s gameplay reveals a fearsome new playable character in Nyra Veyrath, a battle-hardened Sister of Battle. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will be coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.

    Witness Nyra’s unstoppable might as she leaves ashes in her wake in today’s trailer:

     

    While Nyra may lack the same impenetrable armor as a Space Marine, she more than compensates with her agility around the battlefield, dispatching the Emperor’s enemies with speed, precision and scores of flames. As a Celestian of the Sisters of Battle, an all-female militant wing of the Adeptas Sororitas sect of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy religious group, she is a skilled and remorseless fighter within her ranks. 

    Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 picks up where the first game left off, plunging players into a branching single-player campaign that fuses the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe with a fast-paced retro FPS inspired by the best of the 90’s. Choose between Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath or Ultramarine Malum Caedo, wielding devastating new weapons as you charge into glorious battle, reducing heretics and traitors alike to heaps of pixelated gore. Each 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.
