One of the most impressive Star Wars mods in history just got a huge update, and co-op is on the table for the future: ‘It has been almost a year-long journey to get to this point’

If you like Star Wars games, you may occasionally lament that there just aren’t enough of them.

Looks like Boltgun 2 will be the Warhammer game to finally give the setting’s horniest Chaos god its due

Warhammer’s plague god, Nurgle, has proved surprisingly popular with videogame developers, with top-villain billing in games like Vermintide 2, Darktide, and Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. He was also featured in Boltgun, with his grotesque nurgling servants mooning us and proving annoyingly hard to hit. They’ll be returning in Boltgun 2, along with the previously revealed servants…
