Video Games: ‘Warhammer Survivors’ Coming In 2026

Get prepared for a bullet-hell of your individual making! It’s Warhammer Survivors coming to Steam in 2026!

Okay, I didn’t have “Survivors Game Set in the Warhammer Universes” on my bingo card. But right here we’re. Get prepared for Warhammer Survivors!



From the video description:

“Warhammer Survivors is coming quickly! This fast-paced roguelite survivors recreation permits you to play as characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, the place you’ll acquire and battle with iconic weapons as you destroy swarms of lethal enemies. Find out extra:

Coming to Steam in 2026.”

Now, I’m already a fan of Warhammer. I’m additionally a little bit of a Survivors-genre fan, too. So once I noticed this display screen pop up within the video, I’ll have let loose a *tiny* WAAAGH! slip out in pleasure.

“But what’s Poncle’s Vampire Survivors Engine? What the heck is a Survivors-game anyhow?” If you’re not aware of the sport Vampire Survivors in any respect, the place have you ever been for the previous 3 years? Anyhow, it’s a well-liked retro-styled prime down motion recreation. It takes the old-fashioned “bullet-hell” idea and flips the script. Instead of getting to dodge waves of enemies and all of the bullets they’re capturing, you’re truly the one capturing  all of the bullets vs waves of enemies who’re attempting to slam into you. Oh and your assaults auto-fire so that you simply want to maneuver round and deal with pick-ups and dodging.

Personally, I actually like this style of video games. I’ve received over 100 hours in Vampire Survivors and have performed by means of a lot of the DLCs in that recreation. (Which jogs my memory I must snag Ante Chamber once I get an opportunity…) I get pleasure from this kind of recreation as a result of I believe they’ve a very nice play-loop of the preliminary “just try and survive” which unlocks new characters/weapons/skills. And then these new unlocks let you survive longer, which ends up in extra unlocks, which…nicely, you see the place I’m going with this.

One different side I like about this style is that a part of the enjoyment (for me at the least) is seeing what ridiculously over powered combos I can create with those self same unlocks. There’s additionally a bunch of hidden secrets and techniques scattered round and different foolish issues. So yeah, I’m going to be choosing this one up for certain.

Two Universes, One Game

One factor I used to be additionally not anticipating was the truth that this recreation is slamming each the 40k and AoS universes collectively. And actually, I’m right here for that! The idea completely works for each universes and I’m questioning if we’re going to see some cross over with these weapon unlocks (I REALLY hope so).

WarCom additionally has much more particulars which are giving me hope for this one:

” Soon you’ll have the ability to take up a boltgun or blade and face down a seemingly limitless tide of enemies as a result of we’ve partnered with Auroch Digital, makers of the retro shooter Boltgun, alongside poncle, the builders of cult hit rogue-like recreation Vampire Survivors, to create the upcoming Warhammer Survivors!”

So sure, they’re working with the Boltgun crew AND the Vampire Survivors crew for this one! The retro vibes are sturdy with this one. I additionally suppose each these corporations have a fairly good observe file (at the least for my tastes) and I’m prepared to present this one a shot for certain.

Famous Heroes Become Survivors

WarCom additionally dropped some data on the characters within the recreation:

• Malum Caedo from Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun
• Cadian Shock Trooper Kozlowski
• Brother Luca, a Space Marine Intercessor
• Neave Blacktalon
• Gotrek Gurnisson
• Sharynn Azurwrath, a Stormcast Eternals Vanquisher

And in line with them, “That’s just a fraction of the roster you can look forward to meeting…” which sounds superior.

Personally, I simply hope that we get to combine and match these characters and talents to give you all of the madness that Survivors-games have. This isn’t an “immersive simulation” recreation. It’s about recreation breaking combos and “make big number go up” as you homicide you method throughout the display screen!

Warhammer Survivors is current available to wishlist on Steam. If you’re a fan of Warhammer, mindlessly slaying hordes of enemies, Survivor-genre video games, or actually any combo of these, then it’s best to verify this one out!

 

I’m SO right here for this!
