On May 23rd, 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun marked its first year of bringing grimdark action to PC and console gamers. Coincidentally, this date also coincided with the highly anticipated Warhammer Skulls Showcase, an event dedicated to all things Warhammer 40,000. During the showcase, developer Auroch Digital and publisher Focus Entertainment announced the upcoming expansion, “Forges of Corruption,” much to the delight of Boltgun players.
A Year of Bolter Fire and Now, More Heretics to Purge
Boltgun’s first year has been a success for fans of classic shooters and the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The game throws players into the boots of a Space Marine, tasked with purging hordes of Orks, Daemons, and other enemies of the Imperium. With its retro-inspired visuals and fast-paced action, Boltgun has captured the essence of classic shooters while remaining true to the lore of Warhammer 40,000.
Forges of Corruption: New Levels, Enemies, and Weapons Await
“Forges of Corruption” promises to expand the Boltgun experience in several exciting ways. Here’s what players can expect:
- New Environments: The expansion will introduce five brand new levels, each inspired by the rich and varied environments of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Explore ravaged industrial landscapes, and battlegrounds littered with the wreckage of war, and delve into the corrupted depths of Chaos-infested facilities.
- Fresh Foes to Face: Alongside the existing enemy roster, “Forges of Corruption” will unleash a new wave of adversaries upon you. Get ready to face even more ferocious foes as you purge the taint of Chaos from the Imperium.
- An Arsenal of Bolter-if Goodness: No Warhammer 40,000 game is complete without new weapons to unleash upon the enemy. “Forges of Corruption” adds two powerful weapons to your arsenal: the Multi-Melta, a devastating tool for melting through armor, and the Missile Launcher, perfect for raining down explosive fury on your enemies.
