And while it&#8217;s nice to know Boltgun 2 is in development, it&#8217;s nicer to know a bit about what it will actually contain.

She wields a bolt pistol\/power sword combo, switching to a meltagun or flamer when the enemies of the Imperium need a good superheating, and has some good mobility, with a slide move I couldn&#8217;t imagine the bulky space marine Malum Caedo pulling off.<\/p>\n<p>As well as letting us choose between two protagonists, Boltgun 2 will have a branching campaign, with different decisions leading you through different levels. It&#8217;ll also have more biomes than the first game, including a jungle swamp and a hive city to fight through. Looks like there&#8217;s an ice world too? I just hope I don&#8217;t get lost in the levels as often as I did in the original.<\/p>\n<p>Boltgun 2 will be out in 2026, and available on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3115160\/Warhammer_40000_Boltgun_2\/\">Steam<\/a>.
