Big news for fans of both the grimdark war-fantasy of the Warhammer universe and the lightning-fast roguelite action of Vampire Survivors: developer Auroch Digital has officially announced Warhammer Survivors, a new game that fuses the two.

What we know so far:

• The game is a fast-paced roguelite survivors-style experience in which you’ll choose iconic champions from both the Warhammer 40K and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes and face off against endless hordes of enemies.
• Auroch Digital is developing the title in partnership with Poncle (the creator of Vampire Survivors).
• The game is set to launch on PC (Steam) in 2026, so there’s time to get excited (and wishlist!).
• From the announcement: expect characters such as Malum Caedo (Warhammer 40K) and Neave Blacktalon (Age of Sigmar), familiar weapons like the Boltgun and Chainsword, and hordes of Tyranids, Skaven and other war-torn foes.

Why this is notable:

• It’s rare to see a official collaboration that blends the Survivors-style gameplay with a big IP like Warhammer.
• The merge of two major Warhammer settings—both 40K (sci-fi) and Age of Sigmar (fantasy)—in one game is also a big deal.
• For fans of indie games and roguelites, this looks like a promising way to experience Warhammer in a new arcade-style format.

What to keep an eye on:

• Release date details beyond “2026”
• Platforms beyond PC
• Composition of the playable roster and how deep the meta/progression systems become
• How well the Survivors-style loop (pick a hero, face hordes, unlock, die, repeat) is adapted into the Warhammer lore
• Whether mod support or community content will be part of the plan
