Auroch Digital launches Warhammer Survivors on Switch 2 and Switch with free roadmap

Auroch Digital’s Warhammer Survivors arrived on Nov. 10, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, with launch day also covering PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series as well as PC, iOS and Android.

The company developed and published the game, working with poncle on the official Warhammer title. The studio previously made Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a retro shooter set in the same universe. Gematsu calls the game a fast-paced roguelite set in Warhammer’s future and fantasy realms. GoNintendo and Gematsu identify poncle as the Vampire Survivors creator working with Auroch Digital on the official Warhammer title.

The game shows meticulously handcrafted animated pixel art of Warhammer champions, enemies and weapons. Nintendo Everything and GoNintendo describe this handcrafted animated pixel art as a key feature. Multiple modes and stages span the grim dark 41st Millennium and the Age of Sigmar Mortal Realms. Battles range from the plains of Aqshy to an abandoned Space Hulk, and passives and power-ups aid runs, with esoteric secrets and collectables to uncover.

The roster includes more than 40 champions tied to Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, and each brings unique weapons and starting statistics, meaning no two survivors play the same. The named champions include Cadian Shock Trooper Kozlowski and Space Marine Intercessor Brother Luca, along with Stormcast Neave Blacktalon, Gotrek Gurnisson and Stormcast Eternal Vanquisher Sharynn Azurwrath. Malum Caedo of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun also appears in the lineup, and Nintendo Everything lists him as Boltgun’s featured character among the 40-plus champions. Each champion has distinct active abilities, passive traits and upgrade trees.

The arsenal tops 75 weapons, headlined by the Boltgun, the Astartes Chainsword, Whirlwind Axes and a pot of Nuln Oil. Players can mix weapons with power-ups and evolve them into devastating new forms. Tyranid swarms, Ork mobs, warbands and Gloomspite Gitz forces appear in locations such as Aqshy and an abandoned Space Hulk. The Great Unclean One and other Extremis Bosses serve as boss encounters, challenging even experienced Survivors-like veterans.

Finishing a run means gathering experience gems, evolving iconic weapons and combining combat relics into high-synergy builds before the timer runs out. Meta progression offers an expanding set of unlockable characters, weapons, abilities and rare relics meant to improve survival odds. Gematsu says death is not the end for these champions of endless war, and that unlockables raise the odds of surviving future runs.

Auroch Digital reports that more than 100,000 people added the game to Steam wishlists in its first week after reveal, and over 190,000 players took part in the public demo. On Steam, a 10 percent launch discount applies. A bundle pairing Warhammer Survivors with Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 offers an extra combined discount on both Auroch Digital titles. A 90s Kid notes the bundle celebrates the recent arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 and helps players expand a retro Warhammer catalog, and a PC demo was available.

Launch pricing is $7.99, £6.39 or €7.49, depending on region and platform, and Game Pass includes the game. The game is on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. It is also available on Switch 2 and Switch, plus PC, iOS and Android, with mobile versions live now. Players can buy it through the Nintendo eShop on Switch and Switch 2.

On Nov. 10, 2026, Auroch Digital said it was prioritizing launch stability and player feedback ahead of a firm post-launch roadmap, despite long-term ambitions to add more champions, weapon combinations and enemy hordes. On Nov. 13, 2026, Auroch Digital revealed free updates due in the next few months that bring new characters and weapons to both settings, along with quality-of-life fixes. Nintendo Everything says the roadmap shows upcoming content across the next few months, with additional updates on the way. Smaller patches will fill gaps between larger roadmap drops, and some will arrive before 2026 ends.

The roadmap lists one larger piece of content only as [REDACTED], with clues hidden in the roadmap image. PocketGamer says most of the roadmap consists of free updates while the bigger content drop remains under wraps.

Cross-save support will let players carry progress between phones, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC. PocketGamer says cross-save helps carry unlocks from home to on the go. The review appeared on Nov. 13, 2026.
