Warhammer Survivors: A Grimdark Spin on a Beloved Genre
The Warhammer universe is vast and ever-expanding, and now it’s taking on the popular “survivors” genre with Warhammer Survivors. This unexpected title combines the grim darkness of the far future (Warhammer 40,000) and the high fantasy of the Mortal Realms (Warhammer: Age of Sigmar) with the addictive gameplay of Vampire Survivors. Prepare for hordes of enemies and screen-filling chaos!
What makes this even more intriguing is the direct involvement of poncle, the one-person developer behind the original Vampire Survivors. Warhammer Survivors is being built using the same engine. This collaboration promises a faithful adaptation of the formula with a distinct Warhammer flair. The game is being developed and published by Auroch Digital, known for their work on Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and is slated for release in 2026.
Official Details
The developers describe the game with the following statement:
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.
Experiment in every run with new strategies, unlocking new characters, upgrades, weapon combinations, as well as troves of secrets and collectables waiting to be discovered.
Iconic Warhammer Characters Clash with Relentless Foes

The Age of Sigmar introduces Neave Blacktalon, a warrior of the God-King Sigmar, Gotrek Gurnisson, and Sharynn Azurwrath (a Stormcast Eternal Vanquisher). They will fight against hordes of Skaven warriors.
