Focus Entertainment and Auroch Digital have announced that thereās a (paid) DLC expansion incoming for 2023ās Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Forges of Corruption will feature new enemies, weapons, and environments, and itās coming June 18, 2024 to PC and Consoles.
Warhammer 40K: Boltgun was pretty far off from being my favorite game of 2023. In particular, my biggest issue with it was its confusing and weak level design. However, it still left a big impact on me. Its weapon sound effects are incredible and being a big, stompy-legged war machine felt great. Despite all its problems, I still felt the need to recommend it.
In fact, Iām definitely interested in this DLC. Beyond giving the developers a chance at highlighting the gameplay with some (hopefully) better level design, Iām excited to see whatever new weapons get thrown our way. To be specific, theyāre adding the Multi-Melta and Missile Launcher. Boltgun didnāt have a missile launcher already? I canāt remember. I suppose the eponymous Boltgun is technically a rocket launcher already, as explained to me by a reader.
The Forges of Corruption campaign will take us back to Graia, which is a bit of a shame since Iād rather see something that isnāt just one big industrial planet. The new enemies youāll be facing are the Helbrute and the Terminator.
On top of but separate from the upcoming DLC, Auroch Digital is also adding a horde mode. A staple of the modern FPS, horde mode has you facing off against endless waves of enemies. The horde mode will be free to all players, whether they purchase the DLC or not.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is available for PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Forges of Corruption releases on June 18, 2024.
