Warhammer Survivors has arrived, according to developer Auroch Digital’s current game page, bringing characters from Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar into a pixel-art game built around surviving waves of enemies.

The November 10 launch follows announcements from PlayStation and Xbox. Auroch developed the title in partnership with Warhammer and poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors. Its release page lists PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and mobile platforms.

Different champions, different weapons

Players select a champion, collect weapons and combine upgrades while fighting through enemy swarms. Auroch describes stages ranging from the open terrain of Aqshy to the corridors of an abandoned Space Hulk, with unlockable characters and equipment supporting later attempts.

In an October PlayStation Blog feature, Auroch designer Ellie Harrodine described Morvenn Vahl and Lyssa Revenya as two of more than 40 playable champions. Vahl’s heavy bolter can develop into a weapon combination that also uses her warsuit’s missile launcher.

Lyssa takes a different approach. Her rope and grapnel draw enemies across the battlefield; an evolved version calls on the spirit of a former ally. The examples show how the game adapts characters from the science-fiction and fantasy settings into different styles of play.

Launch price and availability

Auroch lists prices of £6.39, US$7.99 and €7.49, with a 10% launch discount on selected platforms. Xbox’s November 6 release roundup also lists Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere support. Buyers should check their regional store for the applicable price, edition and subscription access.

This is a report on the release and the developers’ stated features, rather than a hands-on review of performance or balance.
