When it came to creating the artwork for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, we knew we wanted to create an epic piece of art that would appeal to players and highlight both Malum Caedo and our new playable character, Nyra Veyrath. But this made a tricky situation, as we wanted to hold Nyra's announcement for a secondary beat after the initial game reveal. So instead we announced Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 with temporary art, while we worked with Johan Grenier, who also made the artwork for the original Boltgun, to create the final piece. The week after we changed the capsule art to the new artwork, we saw the CTR jump from 5% to 13% showing the importance of good key art that represents the game. It was well worth taking the extra time to get this piece of art right, rather than using something that didn't satisfy all of our needs. If you like the key art as much as us, we've just released some high res versions that can be used as desktop wallpapers! Download them here: https://lnkd.in/ekwEAYsT

Games Radar spoke to Lead Artist Mark Chambers and Associate Designer Ben Spratt to talk through some of the ways we've taken Boltgun further. We prototyped new mechanics, such as breakable ice, and built on the ideas from there. We also mixed up the level design and introduced a host of new enemies, along with allied characters to help you out. Learn more https://lnkd.in/eSAg87yc
