Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Auroch Digital have announced a new game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Titled Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, the game is a first-person shooter with seemingly old-school game design.

In Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, players take on the role of a Space Marine sent on a mission across the galaxy, battling Chaos Space Marines and daemons of Chaos. The self-described boomer shooter promises an extensive arsenal, as well as a 90s inspired art style and a metal soundtrack as an homage to classic first-person shooters of the era.

According to the press release, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun has been under development since 2018. The game already has a Steam page live with details, including the required system specs.

The announcement comes as part of Games Workshop’s Warhammer Skulls Festival of Video Games, which had other announcements like Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, an update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and a new cinematic trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is set for release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in 2023. Check out the announcement trailer below.
