Warhammer Survivors Brings Grimdark Mayhem to the Survivors Genre in 2026
Ready your Boltgun, grab your Chainsword, and steel yourself for the swarm—because Warhammer Survivors is coming.
Announced today by Auroch Digital, the creators of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, this brand-new rogue-like survivors game is charging onto Steam in 2026. Developed and published by Auroch Digital in partnership with poncle (Vampire Survivors) and Games Workshop, this official entry in the Survivors lineage fuses the relentless, addictive chaos of Vampire Survivors with the grimdark glory of the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes.
Think “pixel-vomit carnage,” but with Space Marines, Stormcast Eternals, and all the bolter-blasting, skull-crushing, chaos-slaying energy you can handle.
The Ultimate Survivors Experience—Across Two Warhammer Universes
Warhammer Survivors takes the endless waves of monsters and heart-racing upgrades that define the genre and injects them with Warhammer’s signature scale and style. Players will take command of iconic heroes from across the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms, mowing down relentless hordes in fast-paced, explosive sessions.
Weapons and abilities can be fused into devastating new forms—whether that’s raining explosive bolts across the battlefield or conjuring storms of divine energy. Every run offers new strategies, unlockable characters, weapon combinations, secrets, and treasures waiting to be uncovered.
And yes, there are easter eggs. Including one very familiar pot of Citadel Nuln Oil.
