You can get three Warhammer games for free right now Adam Starkey Published May 23, 2025 2:01pm Updated May 23, 2025 2:01pm He wants a word (Auroch Digital) Several new Warhammer games have been revealed in a showcase, including a throwback shooter which is entirely free. A slew of new games were announced as part of the Warhammer Skulls Showcase this week, but the Warhammer celebrations continue beyond the presentation. In the showcase, Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 was revealed, a sequel to developer Auroch Digital’s 2023 retro shooter. It’s set to be released across Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC sometime in 2026. As an extra surprise, Boltgun fans were treated to another announcement in the form of spin-off Warhammer 40k: Boltgun – Words Of Vengeance, a ‘first-person typing’ shooter which is completely free on Steam. The shooter is basically an alternative take on Boltgun where you type out randomised words to kill the enemy hordes. You play as Malum Caedo, who is on a mission to ‘cleanse Forge World Graia of cultists, traitors, and Chaos daemons that threaten to overun it’. This isn’t the only Warhammer game which is currently free. Warhammer 40k: Gladius – Relics Of War is free to keep on Steam if you download it before Monday, May 26 at 6pm BST. This is a turn-based strategy game developed by Proxy Studios which originally came out in 2018. Meanwhile, 1999’s Warhammer 40k: Rites Of War is free on GOG until Thursday, May 29. This is another turn-based strategy title, which was re-released in 2015. While you can download all these games for free and keep them, if you have some spare time over the weekend, you can play 2018’s Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus for the next three days for free on Steam. A sequel is currently in development at Bulwark Studios. If you’re not a PC player, there are heavy discounts on other Warhammer games across Xbox and PlayStation, although none of them are free unfortunately. What games were announced at the Warhammer Skulls Showcase? Along with the aforementioned Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 and Words Of Vengeance, there were several other announcements at the showcase. Developer Owlcat revealed Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy, a narrative-driven tactical role-playing game which features ‘intricate investigations’ and player choices that ‘carry grave consequences’. It is set to be released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC at an unspecified future date. Owlcat also announced its second expansion for Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, titled Lex Imperialis, will launch on June 24. A second season pass is also in development with two additional 15-hour expansions. More Trending Elsewhere on the DLC front, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 will soon receive a new PvE Siege mode, where three players must survive and defend a fortress against waves of enemy hordes. It will be playable on Steam via Saber Interactive’s public test server from June 4, and will roll out across all platforms as part of a free update on June 26. For fans of the original Space Marine, a Master Crafted Edition re-release is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass on June 10, 2025. This edition, described as a ‘thoughtful restoration’ of the 2011 original, includes 4K support, revamped controls, improved visuals, and all previously released DLC. Relic Entertainment’s real-time strategy game, Warhammer 40k: Dawn Of War, is also getting a modern revamp via a new Definitive Edition, which includes the base game along with all previous expansions. However, a release date is yet to be announced.

Stock up for the weekend and I'll catch you Monday!This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I’m celebrating the 19th birthday of Metroid Prime: Hunters while remembering the mild carpal tunnel it gave me. Developed for the newly minted DS, its standout innovation was the incorporation of stylus-driven aiming paired with six-player ad-hoc wireless multiplayer, allowing us hunters to engage in fast-paced, Phazon-fueled deathmatches on the go.

Old-school RTS fans are eating well right now, and hopefully it can serve as inspiration for an eventual Dawn of War 4.

Warhammer 40K unveils Boltgun 2, tactical RPG Dark Heresy, and, yes, a free typing game Plus new Space Marine 2 DLC and more. Image credit: Owlcat News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on May 22, 2025 It's been a busy day in the grimdark world of Warhammer 40K, thanks to its latest video game focused Warhammer Skulls showcase. Not only have we learned a couple of classics getting a spruce-up, there's brand-new stuff coming too, including a Boltgun sequel, new tactical RPG Dark Heresy, plus a smattering of fresh DLC. Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2, which seems as good a place as any to start, is exactly what it sounds like - a follow-up to developer Auroch Digital's acclaimed 2023 retro shooter Boltgun. Details are relatively limited at present, but it'll pick up immediately after the events of the first game, and offer another helping of old-school-inspired FPS action over the course of its branching single-player campaign. There's talk of new locations - "from the colossal heights of a hive city to the impenetrable mangrove swamps of a jungle" - plus new weapons and never-before-seen foes, including the ferocious Bloodletters and their daemonic Juggernauts.

There's an extra - and more immediate - treat for Boltgun fans in the form of Boltgun: Words of Vengeance. This "first person typer" twist on the retro shooter - in which players must deploy their QWERTY skills for maximum carnage - is entirely free and available to download on Steam today. Elsewhere in the gloomy world of Warhammer 40K, developer Owlcat has announced Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy, a "narrative-driven tactical RPG" set against the backdrop of the Noctis Aeterna and the mystery of the Tyrant Star. "Players will lead a warband of diverse companions in a desperate battle against heresy and corruption," the studio explains, "from loyal Imperial subjects, such as a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan, to nefarious xenos, including a bird-like Kroot mercenary." Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy announcement trailer.Watch on YouTube There's talk of full voice acting, "intricate investigations", turn-based combat, and "choices that carry grave consequences", all said to build on the ideas introduced in Owlcat's Rogue Trader. And if that sounds intriguing, Dark Heresy is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam, GOG, and Epic) at some currently undisclosed future point. Speaking of Rogue Trader, Owlcat has also announced a 24th June release date for the game's second expansion, Lex Imperialis. This introduces a faction of "incorruptible enforcers" known as the Adeptus Arbites, plus a new companion - Solomorne Anthar - across its 15-hour storyline. Additionally, the studio has revealed it's working on a Season Pass 2 for Rogue Trader, bundling together an appearance customisation pack and two more 15-hour expansions - each featuring new quests and a new companion. The first of these expansions takes players to a Necron vault curated by Trazyn the Infinite, where they'll encounter ancient guardians and uncover relics relating to the Von Valancius legacy. The second new expansion promises a "descent into madness and mystery" as they explore a "surreal" voidship graveyard.

This "endless" PvE mode for the acclaimed shooter unfolds on Kadaku, where three players must survive against ever-more-deadly waves of Tyranid and Chaos as they attempt to defend an Imperial fortress. It'll be playable on Steam via developer Saber Interactive's Public Test Server starting 4th June, and it gets its full release across all platforms as part of a free update on 26th June.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance is a new typing game based on Warhammer 40,000 and it’s available now for free on PC via Steam. The dark sci-fi spin on a typing teacher was shadow-dropped during a series of announcements made during the latest Warhammer Skulls Showcase. Also shown was a trailer for Boltgun 2, a sequel to Auroch Digital’s first-person shooter the new typing game is based on. Words of Vengeance follows in the footsteps of games like Typing of the Dead where you type on-screen prompts as quickly and as accurately as you can to defeat enemies and progress in on-rails levels. It’s set in the world of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun and uses the same pixelated 3D aesthetic with plenty of blood and violence, except the blood is spilled by typing. As a fan of mechanical keyboards, I personally love occasionally firing up typing tests to hear what the latest keyboard I’m obsessing over sounds and feels like. But as much as I love Monkeytype or Keybr, an actual typing game offers a different kind of fun. The thought of going full boomer-shooter with my proper grammar and punctuation exercises just has me more stoked than ever. Plus, it’s free.  Brother! It’s time to get those fingers moving. More blood for the blood god!
