Auroch Digital has confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will arrive on Nintendo’s Switch 2 later in 2026, following a multi-platform launch on PC, Xbox and PlayStation.
The studio set the primary release date for October 14, 2026 on PC, Xbox and PlayStation, and said a Switch 2 version will follow shortly after.
The sequel also features a guest-composed cameo track from Mick Gordon, known for DOOM (2016), DOOM Eternal and Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Boltgun 2 is billed by Auroch Digital as a “brutal throwback shooter” that expands on the original game’s fast-paced strafing action.
The developer says the sequel increases the arsenal available to players, introduces new enemy types alongside returning fan favorites, and delivers more varied encounters across its levels.
A new gameplay trailer accompanies the announcement and includes a music piece credited as "Ascent of the Arkifane," composed by Mick Gordon.
The game’s narrative sends playable characters Ultramarine Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath to an isolated star system to investigate rising Chaos activity.
Auroch Digital describes how the pair confront Vashtorr the Arkifane, a demigod whose awakening of a vast daemonic machine causes a catastrophic explosion and devastates much of the Imperial fleet.
Malum and Nyra then travel from world to world to purge the corruption that powers Vashtorr’s machinations and attempt to banish the demigod back to the Warp.
Auroch Digital’s announcement confirms platform details and the involvement of Mick Gordon; the composer’s cameo track is highlighted in the new trailer and forms part of the game’s audio presentation.
The confirmed October 14, 2026 launch window for PC, Xbox and PlayStation provides a concrete timetable for the wider release, while the Switch 2 arrival is scheduled to follow closely thereafter.
Readers familiar with the original Boltgun can expect the sequel to preserve the core run-and-gun design while broadening weapon choices and enemy variety.
Nintendo Life previously reviewed the first Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, offering additional context on how Auroch Digital’s approach translated to the Nintendo audience.
For players tracking Switch 2 releases and eShop availability, Auroch Digital’s timetable positions Boltgun 2 as a notable third-party release for the platform in late 2026.
