Auroch Digital’s Bullet-Heaven Game Reaches Steam
Warhammer Survivors is out now on Steam. Auroch Digital announced the launch on Tuesday night, Australian time, with a new trailer, and the game was the top seller on Steam’s Australian store early on Wednesday morning.
The store page describes it as “the official grim and dark bullet-heaven game from the developers of Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun.” It is officially licensed, and made in partnership with Warhammer and poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors.
Players choose from more than 40 champions drawn from Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The page names Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, the Stormcast Eternal Neave Blacktalon and Boltgun‘s own Malum Caedo among them.
Each champion starts with unique weapons and stats, so the page says no two survivors play the same. Weapons can be combined with power-ups and evolved into new forms.
The arsenal runs to more than 75 weapons, from the Boltgun and the Astartes Chainsword to a pot of Nuln Oil paint. Each stage has its own enemy faction and its own secrets, and the page lists the Great Unclean One among its bosses.
Stages range from the open, ashen plains of Aqshy to the tight corridors of an abandoned Space Hulk. The page also promises Extremis Bosses that will challenge even veterans of the genre.
The launch post looks back at the road from the game’s reveal in November 2025. More than 100,000 people wishlisted it in the first week after the announcement, and hundreds of thousands more followed. More than 190,000 played the first demo.
Auroch Digital says it would like to add new champions, weapons and enemy hordes after launch. For now, the studio is taking time to watch how players react, and promises post-launch news soon.
A new bundle pairs Warhammer Survivors with Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, which launched recently.
On the Australian Steam store, Warhammer Survivors is A$10.35 on Windows, 10% off its A$11.50 price. Gamers Classified first reported its 10 November date in October.
