The first spinoff/sequel to Vampire Survivors, Warhammer Survivors, released this past week from developer Auroch Digital. Made in collaboration with Poncle, creators of Vampire Survivors, the game has gotten off to an okay-ish start. It still features the classic Survivors formula many have come to love, but it’s curiously missing some features and feels a little underbaked. As luck would have it, though, a new content roadmap highlights that Auroch Digital is already working to update the game over the next year.
The first update, which is scheduled to land next month, will bring new characters, weapons, and weapon evolutions. Following that in January 2027, there will be general “quality-of-life” improvements and cross-save support on all platforms. Q1 2027 will see even more new characters, weapons, and weapon evolutions, with Q2 2027 having a generic “ERROR … Details Classified” message. Suffice it to say, there will be tons of new stuff coming.
As for how the game is right now, I’m finding it a little slow to get going. Starting off a fresh save on Vampire Survivors can be similarly painstaking after you’ve experienced how zippy late-game play is, but Warhammer Survivors seems to really front load its difficulty. Despite the clock reading only 5:00 minutes, it can feel like 20 and the enemies seem to dog pile you before you’re truly able to retaliate. I’ve only just started, though, so we’ll see how it goes. Expect to hear my full thoughts in the coming week.
