Mick Gordon Brings Signature Sound to Boltgun 2's Soundtrack
Award-winning composer Mick Gordon has created an original track for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, featured in the game's new release date trailer. The game launches on October 14 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch 2 version arriving later. Gordon's involvement follows his acclaimed work on Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, and he is also set to perform the Doom 2016 soundtrack live at RADAR 2027.
The track debuts in the release date trailer for Boltgun 2, which arrives October 14 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch 2 version following later. The trailer also introduces Vashtorr the Arkifane as the game's primary antagonist, described as a daemonic demigod tied to inventors and engineers.
Gordon's involvement follows his celebrated work on Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, though his relationship with that franchise's production team became strained after a public dispute. He is scheduled to perform the Doom 2016 soundtrack live at the RADAR 2027 festival in the UK, marking a rare live presentation of that material.
Gordon's participation could lend significant credibility to Boltgun 2 within the boomer shooter community, where his Doom work is widely regarded as genre-defining. His involvement may also draw players who might otherwise overlook a smaller title, potentially expanding the game's audience beyond dedicated Warhammer 40,000 fans. The live performance announcement suggests continued commercial interest in game music as a concert experience, which could reinforce the growing crossover between gaming culture and live entertainment.
