Auroch Digital has confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 sometime later in 2026, while the initial digital release for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is scheduled for October 14.
The announcement follows the developer-publisher’s continued support for the retro-inspired first-person shooter series that began with the original Boltgun.
Release details and platform rollout
Auroch Digital stated that the game’s multi-platform launch will see PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions go live on October 14, with the Nintendo Switch 2 edition following at a later date in 2026.
The company also confirmed that at least one track on the Boltgun 2 soundtrack will be composed by Mick Gordon, a well-known game composer whose credits include the Killer Instinct (2013) soundtrack and the scores for DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, as well as music used in promotional material for Diablo IV.
Composer involvement

Gordon’s prior work on high-profile shooters has been widely recognized across the industry and adds a notable name to Boltgun 2’s audio credentials.
Context from the original Boltgun
For players looking to catch up, the first Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun remains available on the Nintendo eShop at a listed price of $8.79.
That title was praised for its faithful retro shooter feel and visuals that capture the Warhammer 40,000 setting, while reviewers commented on design aspects such as level flow and weapon balance.
What this means for Switch 2 owners
With the Switch 2 edition slated for later in 2026, owners of Nintendo’s next-generation hardware can expect a delayed but confirmed launch window.
Auroch Digital’s staged rollout follows a common pattern for multi-platform releases and leaves the Switch 2 release timed after the October 14 digital debut on other systems.
