Warhammer 40k Boltgun 2 is coming, with a free spinoff playable right now

Warhammer 40k Boltgun 2 is finally on the way, but you can stay busy with a new free-to-play typing version of the FPS that's out right now.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun is the perfect example of a modern boomer shooter. It looks and sounds exactly how you remember the FPS games of the '90s, but it plays entirely differently. Everything is as smooth as butter, and there's a fluidity to the gorey action that makes Boltgun a total joy to get your hands on. Now, as a part of the Warhammer Skulls showcase, we've got huge news. Not only are we getting Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 next year, but a free-to-play spinoff is also available right now.

Malum Caedo is back, and this time he's got even more enemies to tear limb from limb. Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 is officially on the way, and it's going to elevate the brutal FPS game to all-new heights. You'll set off to never-before-seen worlds to battle the enemies of the Imperium, with Nurglins and Chaos Cultists standing in your way and begging to be torn to shreds.

Everything about Boltgun 2 looks even better than the first game, from the detail on all of the enemies and environments to the ways you can take out your foes. You'd better practice stomping heretics, then.

But Warhammer Skulls brings more than Boltgun 2. Boltgun – Words of Vengeance is a creative new free-to-play spin on Malum Caedo's adventures, and it's out right now. A The Typing of the Dead-style take on the FPS, you'll need to type enemy names and phrases as fast as possible to take them out. You can play Words of Vengeance on Steam, and it's the perfect way to stay busy (and sharp) ahead of Boltgun 2.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. Meanwhile, Warhammer 40k: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance is out now.
