Developed by Auroch Digital and published by Big Fan Games and Devolver Digital, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 continues directly after the original Boltgun. Choose Ultramarine Malum Caedo or Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath, each with distinct weapons and abilities, and fight the forces of Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne, and Slaanesh across multiple worlds. The branching campaign includes more than 30 levels, with routes that prevent you from seeing everything in one playthrough. Optional navigation guidance and an automap help you track objectives. The Steam store provides the PC purchase and play entry point.
