Warhammer Survivors Guide — Characters, Weapons & Evolutions
🚧 Demo-era build: Warhammer Survivors launches November 10, 2026. A demo is playable now on Steam and Xbox PC — pages are seeded from demo-era sources and completed at launch.
Warhammer Survivors is the Warhammer take on the survivors-like formula: hordes, auto-firing weapons, and run-long builds, set across Warhammer’s settings. This hub links the pages we complete at launch — a beginner guide, the character list, weapon evolutions, and a tier list.

What the press says
- PC Gamer (10 hours with the demo): praised heroes, themed maps, recruitable followers and boss fights; flagged intense early difficulty. Steam Deck performance reported good.
- IGN: called it a celebration of both settings rather than a straight clone; criticised slow repeat openings and unclear evolution requirements.
- G2A News: praised progression, pixel art and companion-summoning weapons; found character-rescue objectives frustrating.
What the demo has
The October 6 demo includes the Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Revenya as playable characters — enough to learn the run loop and test early evolution recipes.
