New playable character revealed for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 has received a brand-new character-focused trailer, offering the first extended look at gameplay beyond its initial May 2025 announcement. The trailer introduces Nyra Veyrath, a Sister of Battle, as a fully playable character, highlighting her speed, precision, and devastating flame-based arsenal.

Developed by Auroch Digital and published under Devolver Digital’s Big Fan label, Boltgun 2 continues directly from the events of the first game, expanding into a branching single-player campaign. Players can now choose between Nyra or Ultramarine Malum Caedo, each offering distinct weapons, abilities, and playstyles. While Caedo embodies the brute force of a Space Marine, Nyra’s agility and fiery weaponry bring a new dimension to combat, underscoring the Sisters of Battle’s reputation as relentless warriors of the Adeptas Sororitas.

The new trailer showcases Nyra’s battlefield mobility and her ability to incinerate enemies with cleansing fire, contrasting her style with the heavy armor and raw power of her Ultramarine counterpart. This marks the first time fans have seen extended gameplay since the game’s reveal, giving a clearer sense of how the sequel will expand on the original’s mechanics.

Enemies both familiar and new will challenge players, from returning Nurglings and Chaos Cultists to the ferocious Bloodletters and their Juggernauts. Developers have promised even greater horrors lurking deeper in the campaign.

With its dual protagonists, expanded arsenal, and branching campaign, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 aims to deliver a larger, bloodier, and more varied experience than its predecessor. The latest trailer signals that the sequel is not just a continuation but an evolution, offering fans a fresh perspective on the Emperor’s endless war ahead of its 2026 release.
