Mick Gordon Brings Heavy Metal to Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2

Award-winning Doom composer Mick Gordon adds a new track to the retro shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, promising a heavy soundtrack for your heretic-slaying spree.

Remember the adrenaline-pumping, chainsaw-heavy soundtrack of DOOM? That iconic sound is coming to the grimdark future of Warhammer 40,000. Mick Gordon, the mastermind behind DOOM's legendary score, has teamed up with Auroch Digital and Big Fan Games to drop a new track for the upcoming boomer shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2.

If you're a fan of the first Boltgun, you know it's a love letter to '90s shooters—think pixelated gore, fast-paced action, and a soundtrack that keeps your heart pounding. Now, imagine that with Mick Gordon's signature heavy metal and electronic fusion. It's a match made in the Warp, and we're here for it.

The announcement came straight from the developers, confirming that Gordon's contribution will be part of the game's soundtrack. While details on the track itself are still under wraps, the hype is real. Gordon's work on DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal earned him critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase, so his involvement in Boltgun 2 is a massive win for the game's audio identity.

For those unfamiliar, Boltgun 2 continues the story of a Space Marine battling the forces of Chaos across the Imperium. The first game was praised for its faithful recreation of the classic shooter formula, with a modern twist. Adding Gordon's music into the mix elevates the experience to a whole new level of intensity.

The retro aesthetic meets modern audio design—it's like blasting heavy metal through a CRT monitor. The combination of pixel art and Gordon's industrial soundscape is sure to make every encounter feel epic. Whether you're mowing down heretics with a bolter or chainsawing through demons, the music will be there to fuel your rampage.

We don't have a release date yet, but the game is expected to hit PC and consoles sometime in the future. If you're eager to get your hands on it, keep an eye on official channels for updates. And if you're a fan of Mick Gordon, this is another reason to be excited.
