Warhammer Survivors: Everything We Know About Poncle's New Game

The studio that created the wave-survival genre is bringing its formula somewhere new — and it's a genuinely surprising crossover. Here's everything confirmed so far.

What happened

Poncle, the developer behind Vampire Survivors, announced Warhammer Survivors — a new game combining Vampire Survivors' auto-attacking, horde-survival formula with the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes. The announcement generated significant excitement among roguelike and wave-survival fans, given poncle's track record in the genre it's now revisiting.

What we know

• Developer: Poncle, the original creators of Vampire Survivors.
• Setting: Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, licensed properties from Games Workshop.
• Genre: Wave-survival / "bullet heaven," the same core formula as Vampire Survivors — auto-attacking builds against escalating hordes.
• Release date: Not yet announced.

What this means

This is a notable move for poncle specifically: rather than a direct Vampire Survivors sequel or DLC, it's a new, separately-branded game built on a major licensed universe. Games Workshop has increasingly licensed the Warhammer IP to a wide range of genres in recent years, and pairing it with the genre poncle itself popularized is a strong combination on paper — built-in audience overlap between Warhammer's tabletop/strategy fanbase and Vampire Survivors' wave-survival fanbase.

What's next

No release date, platforms, or pricing have been confirmed yet. Expect more details as poncle moves the game further into development — this article will be updated when a release window is announced.
