Warhammer Survivors announced by Auroch and Poncle on Steam in 2026

Auroch Digital announced Warhammer Survivors, a roguelike survivors game set to launch on Steam in 2026 that will let players battle endless hordes using characters and weapons drawn from both the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes. The project is being developed and published by Auroch with the involvement of Poncle, whose engine and design approach underpinned Vampire Survivors, and it is being released with an official license from Games Workshop.

The game follows the fast-paced, run-based survivors formula that emphasizes continuous waves of enemies, automatic attacks, and the collection of passives and powerups to grow more powerful during each run. Players will choose either the 40,000 or Age of Sigmar setting for a playthrough and select from a roster of iconic characters. Weapons and items familiar to Warhammer players, including boltguns, chainswords, whirlwind axes and magical effects, can be combined and evolved into potent configurations to clear screens of foes. Developers say the title will include multiple modes, a variety of stages from both universes, numerous passive upgrades and powerups, and a number of secrets and easter eggs to discover.
