Overview
- Publisher Big Fan Games and developer Auroch Digital announced on Wednesday that Boltgun II will launch on October 14, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam with a Nintendo Switch 2 port arriving shortly after.
- The release trailer introduces the demigod antagonist Vashtorr the Arkifane and outlines a story in which two protagonists race between worlds to stop a daemonic machine that devastated an Imperial fleet.
- Players will choose between Ultramarine Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, in a branching single-player campaign that emphasizes exploration and varied combat.
- The sequel adds new enemies (including Bloodletters and daemonic Juggernauts), more weapons and new biomes such as hive cities and mangrove swamps, and the trailer includes a first-listen teaser of an original track by guest composer Mick Gordon.
- Key details still pending are exact Switch 2 timing, pricing and launch-window platforms beyond Steam, and the staggered port follows a common pattern for indie and mid-tier multi-platform releases.
