The fast-paced roguelite action game Warhammer Survivors is officially expanding beyond PC. Developer Auroch Digital has confirmed a 2026 launch for the title on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and both the Nintendo Switch and its successor, the Switch 2. This multiplatform release will coincide with the game’s previously announced debut on Steam, bringing its chaotic pixel-art battles to a much wider audience.
Developed by the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun in collaboration with Games Workshop and Vampire Survivors creator poncle, the game promises to deliver a classic survivors-like experience steeped in Warhammer lore. Players will engage in frenetic, top-down combat against endless waves of enemies drawn from the expansive Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes.
Gameplay will span two distinct settings, offering varied tactical challenges. Battles can unfold across the open, fiery plains of Aqshy in the Mortal Realms or within the claustrophobic, derelict corridors of a Space Hulk from the 41st millennium. Each stage is designed as a unique arena, featuring specific enemy factions and hidden secrets for players to discover.
A key feature is the roster of legendary champions players can control. The initial lineup includes iconic characters from both major Warhammer settings, each with unique starting weapons and stats to ensure diverse playstyles. From the grim darkness of the far future, players can command Malum Caedo, the Sternguard Veteran from Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, as he faces the ravenous Tyranid swarms. He is joined by other fan-favorites like a Cadian Shock Trooper and a Space Marine Intercessor.
For the Age of Sigmar setting, champions include Neave Blacktalon, a lightning-forged Stormcast Eternal who battles the endless Skaven hordes. She is accompanied by the legendary monster-slayer Gotrek Gurnisson and the Stormcast Vanquisher Sharynn Azurwrath, who wields a formidable Celestial Greatsword.
Victory will require mastering a vast arsenal of iconic weapons. Players can arm their champions with legendary gear like chainswords and Bolters, with the humorous inclusion of a pot of Citadel Nuln Oil paint as a potential weapon. Through gameplay, players can combine these arms with collected power-ups, evolving them into devastating new forms capable of creating screen-clearing barrages of bullets, blades, and magical fury.
