Warhammer Survivors launches Nov. 10, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass

Warhammer Survivors launched Nov. 10, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass includes it at no extra charge to subscribers, according to Xbox Wire.

WorthPlaying listed the launch price at $7.99, £6.39, or €7.49, with a 10 percent discount on select platforms. Pre-orders opened Oct. 6, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch systems and begin Oct. 27, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S.

The developer Auroch Digital teamed up with poncle, the creator of Vampire Survivors, and Warhammer on the officially licensed game, calling it a passion project, Xbox Wire said. Auroch Digital previously made Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Malum Caedo, the hero of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, can be played in the new game. Auroch Digital has more than 10 years of experience developing Warhammer titles with Games Workshop, according to WorthPlaying.

Polygon said the game splits into two campaigns, one based in Warhammer 40,000 and the other in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, each offering distinct characters, weapons, enhancements, and objectives. It includes more than 40 playable characters, more than 75 weapons, and over 15 stages across the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, IGN reported. Meta progression lets a growing roster of unlockable characters, weapons, abilities, and rare relics improve survival odds, according to Gematsu.

The playable champion roster includes Malum Caedo, Neave Blacktalon, Trooper Kozlowski, Brother Luca, Gotrek Gurnisson, and Sharynn Azurwrath, according to Gematsu. Each fighter has unique weapons and starting stats, so no two play the same. Neave Blacktalon serves the God-King Sigmar, and Malum Caedo is a Space Marine Sternguard Veteran.

Familiar weapons include the Boltgun, Astartes Chainsword, and Whirlwind Axes, according to WorthPlaying. IGN also names Neave Blacktalon’s Tempest Axes. Players can hurl Citadel Nuln Oil to drench enemies in a substance that makes them more susceptible to fire, or launch D6 Dice that explode when landing on the right number, IGN said. IGN also described an actual Hobby Table stage that brings the tabletop-inspired elements together.

Xbox Wire described the Gloomspite Gitz as grots living in caves who worship the Bad Moon, linked to the Everdank era of perpetual twilight. Moonclan Stabbas make up the foot soldier force and swarm battlefields in large numbers while stabbing wildly at anything nearby.

Squig Hoppers ride feral Squigs that bounce around the battlefield in unpredictable ways, while Boinggrot Bounders, seasoned riders armed with lances, charge precisely, Xbox Wire said. Mangler Squigs arrive as two furious balls chained together, and Rockgut Troggoths move slowly but regenerate health and are difficult to defeat.

Xbox Wire called Trugg the Troggoth King an Extremis-level threat carrying an Ironshell Club that creates wide impact zones. The boss also wields an arcane keystone. Stray projectiles from the keystone cause burning, poisoning, or bleeding. IGN also pointed to the Norn Emissary as an Extremis Boss meant to test even experienced Survivors-like players.

Polygon said satisfaction arrives by hour 10, though the starting weapons rank among the worst and delay the fun. The follower system allows summoning a second fighter with another weapon, but Polygon said it barely changes the decisions players already face. The reviewer enjoyed the game while using a Typhoon Crossbow, with enhanced-weapon allies firing nearby. Polygon described play as moving through stages while a character attacks on its own, with foes dropping experience much of the time for leveling and weapon upgrades.

Polygon said Warhammer Survivors is essentially two games in one and functions as a hodgepodge of familiar characters instead of a story with meaningful lore. Once good weapons unlock, Polygon said the title matches Vampire Survivors and similar games, even if it does not captivate and reward immediately. Polygon added that the game delivers on its premise but will not displace Vampire Survivors as its preferred entry in the style, and that devoted Warhammer fans new to Vampire Survivors will enjoy it greatly.

Xbox Wire called the game an addictive bullet-heaven survival experience set in the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms and pointed players toward the newest trailer. Auroch Digital said, “Warhammer Survivors has been a passion project for us, and we can’t wait to get the game into your hands!”
