Auroch Digital announced on October 6 that Warhammer Survivors will launch on November 10, priced at $7.99, £6.39 or €7.49, and released a new demo the same day, according to IGN, Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun and a post from the studio on the PlayStation Blog.
The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PC, Android and iOS, IGN and Polygon reported. IGN said it will be included in Xbox Game Pass on day one and that a 10% launch and pre-order discount applies on select platforms. Rock Paper Shotgun, citing a Steam post from the developer, said the Steam discount covers the first week after launch. On the PlayStation Blog, Auroch said pre-orders opened on PS5 on October 6 with a 10% discount for PlayStation Plus members.
Warhammer Survivors is a roguelite bullet heaven in the mold of Vampire Survivors, developed by Auroch Digital in partnership with Vampire Survivors studio poncle, per IGN and Polygon. IGN reported that it spans two campaigns set in the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, with more than 40 playable characters, over 75 weapons and more than 15 stages. The arsenal includes Neave Blacktalon's Tempest Axes and Malum Caedo's Chainsword alongside tabletop-inspired weapons such as throwable Nuln Oil, which makes enemies more vulnerable to fire, and exploding D6 dice, and the game includes a Hobby Table stage and a paint pot system, IGN said. Both IGN and Polygon noted the presence of Extremis Bosses, including the Norn Emissary, which Auroch has pitched as the hardest content in the game.
Two champions revealed
Auroch used the announcement to show two characters, one from each setting. Morvenn Vahl, High Abbess Sanctorum of the Adepta Sororitas, fights from a Paragon Warsuit with the Heavy Bolter Fidelis, which sprays an arc of projectiles and has a chance to trigger a miracle that raises its rate of fire. The weapon evolves into the Purgator Mirabilis, which adds the warsuit's Paragon Missile Launcher, according to the PlayStation Blog post.
Lyssa Revenya, a thief and member of the Saviours of Cinderfall from the Age of Sigmar setting, uses a Rope and Grapnel that fires hooks in from the edges of the screen, damaging enemies and dragging survivors away. Its evolved form calls on the ghost of Rhea, a former mentor, who crosses the battlefield as a banshee and bursts into a damaging fog, the post said.
The new demo replaces the previous one on Steam and is also playable on Xbox, IGN and Rock Paper Shotgun reported. It adds The Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Revenya as playable champions along with weapon and ability changes based on feedback from the earlier demo. Polygon noted that the November 10 date places the game between The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Grand Theft Auto 6 on the month's release calendar, and that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 is due in December following a delay.
