Retro-inspired shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun blasts onto PC in May
Retro FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun now has a release date of May 23rd, developer Auroch Digital have announced. Revealed last year, Boltgun is an homage to old-school shooters like classic Doom, mimicking those game’s speedy shooting and bloody visuals, and placing it in the Warhammer universe. Its loud, fast, and fun trailers meant Boltgun ripped its way onto RPS’ most anticipated games list, so thank the grim-dark gods for a release date.

RPS@PAX 2023: Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun really nails the feeling of being a big stompy space boy
I really like retro first-person shooters. Show me a game with a gun in it that looks like it could feasibly run on Windows 95, and all of the neurons in my brain will start to fizzle and spark. I just think they’re neat, and their recent resurgance has been extremely nice for me, specifically.
Unsuprisingly, then, I’ve been very excited to get my hands on Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a retro FPS by Auroch Digital set within the grim-dark universe of Warhammer 40k. A retro shooter where you play as a Space Marine is so obvious a pairing it’s a wonder the concept has never been tackled before, to the point where the game’s own marketing materials sort of pretend that it already was back in the 90s but everyone just forgot about it.
