Armies of Chaos in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2

[p]Loyal subjects of the Emperor, [/p][p]Yesterday, we took part in IGN Fan Fest showing off our latest trailer, which reveals a brand-new faction that’ll be coming to Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2!  [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]That’s right! The Dark Prince's corruption knows no bounds, and his legions of excess march into Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, spreading fear and misery with jovial glee! [/p]
Forces of Slaanesh 
[p]With inhuman agility and elegance, Daemonettes lurch forward at incredible speeds to viciously hack and slash at their enemies with daemonic claws. [/p][p][/p][p]But they won’t be alone... [/p][p]Armed with a devastating arsenal of elaborately ornate weapons, Tormentors of the Emperor's Children fight alongside their daemonic brethren, complimenting their melee-focused allies with a ranged thread. [/p][p][/p][p]This is just beginning with more forces of Slaanesh joining the full game when it launches later this year! [/p][p]All four Chaos factions come together in an action-packed campaign, and it falls to Space Marine, Malum Caedo, and Sister of Battle, Nyra Veyrath, to overcome the foul forces of chaos and complete their mission.  [/p]

A Frozen Battlefield Awaits!

[p]Loyal subjects of the Emperor, [/p][p]It's freezing cold in the UK right now, which makes this the perfect time to reveal one of our new levels.[/p][p]You may have seen glimpses of these frozen caverns in the reveal trailer for Nyra, but let’s take a closer look today.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]A Branching Campaign[/h2][p]In Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, our champions won’t be limited to just one world. [/p][p]Instead, their mission will take them to numerous diverse worlds and environments to vanquish the foes that lurk there. But you can’t travel to every infested location, so some decisions will need to be made for the good of The Imperium. [/p][p][/p][h2]Frozen Biome[/h2][p]One of the optional chapters is a mountainous region that was once home to an Imperial facility. It has since been taken over by forces of Chaos. But things aren’t quite what they seem... [/p][p]Venture inside the mountain, where World Eaters and Khorne Daemons dwell. Playing through this level will be different for every player, whether you want to take a stealthier approach leaving your foes trapped within their icy prisons or free them and go in all guns blazing.  [/p][p]Not everyone will survive the ice shattering though...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Regardless of which approach you take, you’ll need to battle through this frozen level to reach the exit. But there may be more to this level than it seems as you head deeper. [/p][p]This is just a brief glimpse at one of the new levels we’ll have in Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2! Let us know what you want to learn more about next in the comments.[/p]

Two Ways to Purge!

[p]Loyal subjects of the Emperor,[/p][p]You'll be able to charge headfirst into glorious battle as one of two playable characters in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2! [/p][p]So, for this month’s update, we thought we’d take a closer look at the different playstyles of Malum and Nyra. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Malum Caedo
[p]Malum Caedo is a formidable Sternguard Veteran with a reputation for purging heretics.  [/p][p]Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun saw Malum finish the work Captain Titus started, by single-handedly ending a Chaos uprising on Forge World Graia. Now his duty is to take the fight to never-before-seen worlds and vanquish the foes that lurk there.  [/p][p]Possessing all the characteristics of a Space Marine, Malum is physically strong, resilient and unrelenting. He combines his power armour and high survivability with a mighty arsenal that packs a punch.  [/p][p][/p][p]His primary weapons are the trusty Boltgun and lethal Chainsword, perfect for brutal close-quarters combat, although his full kit includes heavy hitters like the Grav Cannon, Missile Launcher, Plasma Gun, and more!  [/p][p]While Malum has a slower movement speed than the Battle Sister Nyra, he makes up for this with his innate toughness, as well as the powerful Chainsword Lunge and charge ability to leap into the heart of the fray, obliterating any heretics that get in his way. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Nyra Veyrath
[p]Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 adds a completely new character called Nyra Veyrath!  [/p][p]Embodying fire and faith, Nyra is a skilled and remorseless Celestian within the Adepta Sororitas, the all-female military division of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy. As a battle-hardened warrior, Nyra uses rapid movement and a holy trinity of weapons - a Bolt Pistol, Flamer, and Meltagun - to take control of any battlefield.   [/p][p]Dispatching the Imperium’s enemies with speed, precision and scores of indiscriminate flames, Nyra leaves only ashes in her wake.  [/p][p][/p][p]Utilising her Fervent Slide ability, Nyra is able to skid forward at high-speed, thrusting her Power Sword to damage and knock back any enemies in her path. Capitalising on this newfound momentum, Nyra can propel herself higher than usual and unleash a storm of bullets from above upon her foes. Or dash into melee range and slice through weaker foes with her devastating Power Sword!  [/p][p]And, of course, we can’t forget her fatal Melta-Bomb - a highly explosive device that unleashes potent thermal energy to melt any daemons or heretics caught in its blast radius. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Two Champions - Two Playstyles
[p]This is just a first glimpse at our champions, but know that faith and ferocity will not be enough to face down the multitude of horrors spat out by the grim darkness of the far future. An even greater arsenal of abilities and weapons await you in Boltgun 2. [/p][p]Whether you prioritise mobility or survivability, Malum and Nyra will offer different gameplay experiences, each with their own unique weapons and abilities.  [/p][p]Who are you looking forward to playing the most?  [/p][p]See you next update when we’ll be taking a closer look at one of our brand-new levels... [/p]

Boltgun 2 will let you play a Sister of Battle




Back in May Auroch Digital found a delightful way to announce the existence of Boltgun 2, teasing it at the end of a free typing game. And while it's nice to know Boltgun 2 is in development, it's nicer to know a bit about what it will actually contain. The latest trailer does just that, by informing us that Boltgun 2 will let us choose a second playable character...
