War never sleeps, and soon neither will your trigger finger. Auroch Digital has officially revealed Warhammer Survivors, a fast-paced roguelite survivors game set to launch in 2026. Think bullet-soaked chaos meets iconic Warhammer heroes, forged in partnership with poncle, the creators of Vampire Survivors. Yes, the survivor genre just found its new Chainsword.
In this new spin on the forever-fight format, players dive into the relentless clash of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, mowing down swarms of enemies while powering up to absurd levels of destruction. It is pixel fury wrapped in gothic armor and holy fire, and it looks ready to chew up your free time like a hungry Tyranid.
What Is Warhammer Survivors
Warhammer Survivors is designed as a standalone survivors-style title, officially blessed by the creators of the genre. The game blends the addictive escalation of Vampire Survivors with the brutal charm of Warhammer. Players choose heroes, evolve weapons, and survive endless, screen-clogging hordes across iconic worlds from the 41st Millennium to the Mortal Realms.
Expect strategy layered into chaos. Each run promises new upgrades, unlockable characters, weapon evolutions, secrets, and juicy collectibles that would make any Tech-Priest weep tiny machine tears.
