Warhammer Survivors announced as a licensed Vampire Survivors game

Oh wow, that's certainly a surprise. Warhammer Survivors is coming from Auroch Digital as a licensed version of Vampire Survivors. I've joked a number of times about how every developer seems to be trying to make a survivor-like, but this really moves things a step further taking the original Vampire Survivors and putting an official Warhammer theme on top of it.

We've seen Vampire Survivors do multiple themed DLC, but it seems Games Workshop must have wanted a bigger slice of the survivor pie with a standalone game instead. From the press release:

Endorsed as part of the official Survivors lineage, this standalone game brings familiar tides of endless enemies with fresh twists, iconic characters, and powerful weapons, packaged in an entirely new setting. Or should we say, settings!

Choosing from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, players will lead a roster of iconic characters and endure against the swarms of relentless enemies. Weapons and power-ups can be combined into devastating new forms to create screen-clearing storms of bullets, blades and magic.

Experiment in every run with new strategies, unlocking new characters, upgrades, weapon combinations, as well as troves of secrets and collectables waiting to be discovered.
