Warhammer 40K: Boltgun brings the retro shooter vibes of the original Doom to the 41st Millennium. The nostalgia is strong with this one.

The game might look retro, but the gameplay will be anything but. Come take a look at Warhammer 40K’s new “boomer shooter” foray in the upcoming Warhammer 40K: Boltgun.

There was a time when Doom and its ilk ruled the landscape. Back in the days before cover and slo-mo, before battles royale and levelling up your character enough to use a broken gun. And in an homage to those halcyon days, Games Workshop has produced a retrolicious trailer for the game, complete with a 3D-printed save icon, for some reason.

Warhammer 40K: Boltgun

Load up your Boltgun and plunge into battle headfirst! Experience a perfect blend of Warhammer 40,000, classic, frenetic FPS gameplay and the stylish visuals of your favourite 90’s retro shooters.

Play a battle-hardened Space Marine on a perilous mission across the galaxy, as they battle against the Chaos Space Marines and daemons of Chaos.

In glorious boomer shooter style, unleash your devastating Space Marine arsenal as you blast through an explosion of sprites, pixels and blood. Run, jump and charge across huge levels to shoot, shred and slice the worst heretics across the galaxy!

  • Dive into a visceral combat experience, complete with viciously satisfying gunplay, high mobility and buckets of blood to reward your skills
  • Dominate the battlefield with the awesome firepower and heavy metal of a Space Marine’s devastating arsenal
  • Experience the ultimate homage to retro shooters, blending stylish visuals with fluid, modern FPS gameplay

Boltgun is due out 2023
