Publisher and developer Auroch Digital has announced, during today’s Triple-I Initiative Showcase, that Warhammer Survivors will bring its grimdark-themed pixelated chaos to consoles when it releases later in 2026.
A new trailer airing during the event also revealed several playable characters and weapons that we hadn’t previously seen while confirming that the Orks count among the enemy factions we’ll blow to bits in the Emperor’s name.
Warhammer Survivors Releases on Consoles Alongside Ork Faction
Although Warhammer Survivors also lets us deliver justice as figures familiar to Age of Sigmar fans, the playable characters revealed in its newest trailer hail from the 40K universe.
Joining the likes of Malum Caedo and Neave Blacktalon, we have Chaplain Fo’Baran of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter, as well as Knight-Commander Pask, a tank-ace capable of using armor to crush foes and, incidentally, the largest character featured in the game.
The Legend of Catachan also enters the fray, as do Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, and Commissar Sebastian Yarrick.
From there, Warhammer Survivors’ latest trailer also revealed the following additions to its arsenal:
- D6 Dice – exploding dice inflicting damage determined by the number rolled
- Power Fist – a giant fist that swings in an arc around the player
- Gauntlets of Ultramar (Evolved) - an evolved version of the Power Fist, which unleashes a hail of bolter rounds with every swipe!
- Orbital Bombardment (Evolved) – A devastating barrage from a voidship, obliterating multiple targets and leaving nothing but scorched ruin in its wake.
- Emperor’s Wrath (Evolved) - a blazing aura of faith that scorches nearby foes with righteous vengeance.
As far as Warhammer Survivors’ Ork faction goes, we’ll get to face several of its most recognizable units, from grots forced into battle by their bigger peers to Ork Boyz, Warbikers, Lootas, the Big Mek, as well as Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka himself as a powerful Extremis Boss.
He pairs “unwieldy attack patterns” with the “ability to call hordes of Orks to his side.”
Warhammer Survivors is set to release later in 2026 on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
