Warhammer Survivors, an upcoming bullet-heaven roguelite developed by Auroch Digital in partnership with poncle, launches on November 10, 2026, across multiple platforms with a playable demo available now.
Fans of horde-survival action games and tabletop miniatures can officially circle November 10, 2026, on their calendars. Auroch Digital, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, is bringing its unique spin on the genre to PC, consoles, and mobile devices simultaneously.
The project pairs the design philosophy of poncle’s genre-defining Vampire Survivors with the sprawling lore and aesthetics of Games Workshop’s fictional universes. Players can pick up the game digitally for £6.39 / $7.99 / €7.49, accompanied by a 10% launch and preorder discount on select platforms.
What Platforms and Services Will Host Warhammer Survivors at Launch?
The simultaneous multi-platform release covers nearly every major gaming ecosystem. The title arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and GOG, alongside iOS and Android mobile platforms. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will receive access to the game at no extra charge on day one.
Pre-orders are rolling out across storefronts, with select platforms offering pre-order discounts for early buyers. Mobile pre-registration availability depends on individual store schedules, while pre-orders on PlayStation and Nintendo hardware opened immediately following the release date announcement.
How Does the Gameplay Blend Vampire Survivors with Warhammer?
Under the hood, the title runs on the engine architecture established by Vampire Survivors, but Auroch Digital has injected substantial mechanical twists tailored to the source material. Instead of collecting standard experience gems, players gather experience skulls dropped by swarming enemies. The character roster spans over 40 playable figures drawn from both the grimdark sci-fi setting of Warhammer 40,000 and the high-fantasy Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar.
“Through it all, you do get the feeling of love for the hobby as a whole, embracing both the grimdark sci-fi and the fantasy settings, sprinkling a bit of quirky real world stuff on top, and then trying to take the Bullet Heaven template that Vampire Survivors established so brilliantly, and tailor it to the setting.”

Weapons extend far beyond standard arsenal tropes, featuring tabletop-inspired items like d6 dice that explode upon landing on specific numbers, or flung buckets of Nuln Oil that drench targets to make them vulnerable to fire damage. The arsenal scales past 75 distinct weapons, which characters can combine and evolve across more than 15 stages.
Which Playable Characters and Demos Are Available Right Now?
Players eager to jump in ahead of the November launch can download a new playable demo available on Steam and Xbox PC. This updated build showcases two prominent champions: High Abbess Morwen Vahl of the Adepta Sororitas—who fights inside a massive Paragon Warsuit—and Lyssa Revenya, a tomb-robber from Lethis equipped with a grappling hook.
Early testers note that the experience escalates much faster than traditional bullet-heaven titles, requiring careful management of squad mechanics and follower units. Because individual heroes are restricted to specific weapon types, bringing an incompatible weapon into a run summons a follower to aid from a distinct offset position.
What Challenges Do Extremis Bosses Bring to Late-Game Runs?
Beyond ordinary hordes of Tyranid and Skaven enemies, players must confront massive opponents designed to test veteran survival mechanics. Massive threats like the Norn Emissary serve as Extremis Bosses positioned to challenge even for Survivors-like veterans,
demanding optimized builds, careful positioning, and strategic mastery of status effects before the screen fills with overwhelming devastation.
