Boltgun’s trailer begins showing what appears to be someone moving house. The camera zooms in on a box titled “Jamie’s Stuff” from 1999. Opening the box, the nostalgic music swells as the unknown character opens up a box of old Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine miniatures from Warhammer 40k tabletop. After setting out their old models, the character then picks up a floppy disk, just to really let that 90s nostalgia sink in. The disk has “Boltgun” written on it, along with “confidential,” implying that this is an unreleased title from the 90s that fans are just now seeing.

This is likely a thematic choice from developer Auroch Digital, as the company has decided to give Boltgun a traditional graphical style similar to that of the original DOOM. There are pixelated models and textures, with a modern twist that appears to give the gameplay a much quicker feel more akin to the newer DOOM titles. The gameplay shown in the trailer is short and sweet, and sees the Space Marine protagonist taking on the villains of Warhammer 40k in the form of multiple Chaos daemons and Chaos Space Marines.

It’s not exactly stated where this game is set, but it will likely have the player roaming through different levels set in the Warhammer 40k universe, perhaps even visiting the Realms of Chaos themselves to take the fight to the daemons home world. Boltgun will likely offer a similar amount of mindless killing to some other Warhammer games that let players take on the role of the super soldier Space Marines, such as Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.

Plenty of other franchises have had DOOM crossovers before, but these are mostly done through modding, like when DOOM was given a Halo makeover. However, the release of Warhammer 40k: Boltgun seems to promise more than just giving DOOM a reskin, and will give nostalgic gamers and fans of the franchise an experience of suiting up and sending some daemons straight back to the Warp.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun will release in 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
