Auroch Digital has announced Warhammer Survivors is coming in 2026, and given the name, you can probably guess exactly what type of title it is.
Warhammer Survivors is coming from the developer and publisher behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and is in partnership with poncle (the Vampire Survivors developer) and, of course, Warhammer. The publisher explains that it “takes the relentless and charming pixel-vomit gameplay and fuses it with the globally renowned grimdark of the Warhammer universes.”
Endorsed as part of the official Survivors lineage, this standalone game brings familiar tides of endless enemies with fresh twists, iconic characters, and powerful weapons, packaged in an entirely new setting. Or should we say, settings!
Choosing from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, players will lead a roster of iconic characters and endure against the swarms of relentless enemies. Weapons and power-ups can be combined into devastating new forms to create screen-clearing storms of bullets, blades and magic.
The first of the playable characters have been unveiled with this announcement, as follows:
- Malum Caedo, titular hero from Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, unleashes righteous fury upon the ravenous swarms of the Tyranids. Accompanying him in this announcement is the Cadian Shock Trooper, Trooper Kozlowski, and the Space Marine Intercessor, Brother Luca.
- In Age of Sigmar, Neave Blacktalon, warrior of the God-King Sigmar, cleaves hordes of the Skaven menace. Revealed alongside her is the unstoppable monster-slayer, Gotrek Gurnisson, and Sharynn Azurwrath, Stormcast Eternal Vanquisher, armed with a Celestial Greatsword.
On top of that, here’s the key features from the press release:
- Fast and frantic Survivors gameplay.
- A roster of iconic characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes, featuring Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun’s very own Malum Caedo!
- Multiple modes and stages from across the grimdark 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms.
- An arsenal of familiar weapons, such as the Boltgun, Astartes Chainsword, Whirlwind Axes, and glorious easter eggs such as the humble pot of Citadel Nuln Oil paint.
- A mighty cache of passives and power-ups to aid in enduring against the monstrous legions.
- Esoteric secrets and easter eggs to uncover and collectables to collect!
- …and much more still to be announced!
