Many users took the opportunity to comment on the post, sharing everything they would like to see in the game, even if it’s just a simple reference. Boltgun takes place several years after the events of the first Space Marine title.

Despite this game having a different aesthetic from the previously mentioned saga, the action and power of the main character, Malum, left a deep impression on fans of this rich universe.

Fans of the franchise would like to hear some of Malum Caedo’s phrases from his game mentioned in this new title, which will be released in September. This game will feature Lieutenant Titus, who will lead the imperial force against the Tyranids and their impending invasion.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
