Brutal Retro FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom Is Coming to Android!

Seems like this month is going to be a record breaker for the Warhammer universe. First, they made the Warhammer Skulls announcements. Then, there’s Dawn of War IV, whose upcoming release has prompted the Tacticus x Dawn of War IV collab. And now, it’s Warhammer 40000: Boltgun Boom!

Yes, Warhammer 40000: Boltgun Boom is coming to mobile

The chunky retro first-person shooter Warhammer 40000: Boltgun is coming to mobile as Warhammer 40000: Boltgun Boom. Nitro Games is handling the mobile version of the game originally made by Auroch Digital.

Like it’s 1997 again! In Boltgun Boom, you jump back into the armour of Ultramarine Malum Caedo. You smash through Chaos forces across giant battlefields full of cultists, traitors, daemons, and massive war machines.

The retro FPS style is evident through the crunchy pixel visuals, exaggerated gore, and environments drowning in gothic Warhammer. Take a look at the latest trailer, and see for yourself!

Warhammer 40000: Boltgun Boom will feature a large single-player campaign spread across multiple worlds. There are iconic Warhammer 40,000 weapons and enemies, hidden paths to uncover, and explosive combat for nonstop action.

Fully adapted for mobile play, the game’s optimised controls and gameplay systems are for touchscreen devices. There will also be a premium release with no ads or energy systems.

Jussi Tähtinen, CEO and co-founder of Nitro Games, also commented on the project. He said the studio sees the game as a strong fit for its experience in bringing shooter franchises to mobile platforms. He also added that the goal is to deliver the perfected Boltgun experience to a global mobile gaming audience.

Warhammer 40000: Boltgun Boom is set to release on August 26th, 2026. For Android devices, pre-registration is already open on the Google Play Store.
