“I’m feeling incredibly lucky to be a part of the Warhammer universe”, Rahul said. “I only recently became a fan and had chosen my chapter (Ultramarines because I’m a sucker for the box art). Over the past year or so, I found the community to be so welcoming, it kind of accelerated my love for the hobby.”
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun looks every bit a game from decades ago, but was built with a modern game engine, with more complicated AI and animations. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is launching across Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS5, and PS4. It’s $22, with a small discount for anyone that preorders.
Windows Central’s take
A game that looks and feels like older DOOM, but set in Warhammer 40,000? It’s like someone scanned my brain and made a targeted experience as a result. I’m surprised it’s coming so soon but I’ll definitely be checking this out.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun
If you want a game that captures the fury of Warhammer 40,000 but combines it with the nostalgic presentation of older DOOM games, look no further than Boltgun.
