A jam-packed day in the world of Warhammer 40K with its latest video game-focused Warhammer Skulls showcase has left fans buzzing. Not only are some classics getting a facelift, but there’s also fresh content on the horizon, including a sequel to Boltgun, a new tactical RPG called Dark Heresy, and a sprinkle of new DLC.
Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2 is the highly anticipated follow-up to Auroch Digital’s beloved retro shooter Boltgun. Set to continue the story from the first game, this sequel promises more of the classic FPS action fans have come to love. With new locations, weapons, and enemies like Bloodletters and Juggernauts, players can expect an adrenaline-pumping experience. The game is slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in 2026. But hold up! There’s a little treat for Boltgun enthusiasts in the form of Boltgun: Words of Vengeance, a quirky “first person typer” twist available for free on Steam today.
Developer Owlcat has also unveiled Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy, a narrative-driven tactical RPG that immerses players in the world of the Noctis Aeterna and the enigmatic Tyrant Star. With a diverse cast of companions and a gripping storyline of battling heresy and corruption, the game promises full voice acting, intricate investigations, turn-based combat, and choices with serious consequences. Dark Heresy is set to launch on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC via various platforms, with the release date yet to be announced.
In the realm of DLC, Owlcat is spoiling fans with the upcoming Lex Imperialis expansion for Rogue Trader. This addition brings the Adeptus Arbites faction and a new companion, Solomorne Anthar, to the game, offering 15 hours of new content. Additionally, a Season Pass 2 is in the works, which will include appearance customizations and two more expansions, each with new quests and companions. The first expansion takes players to a Necron vault overseen by Trazyn the Infinite, while the second promises a thrilling adventure through a surreal voidship graveyard.
Not forgetting Space Marine 2, which introduces a new Siege mode where players face relentless waves of Tyranid and Chaos enemies on the planet Kadaku. Available for testing on Steam starting June 4th, the full release is scheduled for June 26th as a free update across all platforms. And to sweeten the deal, there are significant discounts on various Warhammer games for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC as part of the Warhammer Day celebrations.
