Fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe have certainly had a lot to digest over the last day or so, with announcements and reveals coming left right and centre thanks to Games Workshop’s Skulls Showcase. One of the games announced as being in development from Auroch Digital and Focus Entertainment is Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, a new retro-inspired first-person shooter game which promises to give players a hardcore, fast-paced experience with a unique 90’s vibe.
Warhammer 40K: Boltgun sees players stepping into the shoes of a Space Marine as they undertake a perilous and pretty gory battle across the galaxy, taking on the armies of Chaos Space Marines and daemons of Chaos they’ll encounter along the way. The game is said to take inspiration from the classic FPS gameplay, style and visuals of some of gaming’s favourite ‘90s retro shooters, and will appeal to players from across the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Check out the reveal trailer right here.
