Revision 1

Warhammer Survivors has had two free demos on Steam ahead of its November 10, 2026 launch. The first was described as a short, curated experience, and neither demo carries progress into the full release.

Demo Summary

First Demo (May 2026)

The first demo launched on May 21, 2026, the day of the Warhammer Skulls showcase. It offered one champion per universe: Malum Caedo defending an Imperial Bastion from Tyranids in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and Neave Blacktalon fighting the Skaven across The Great Parch in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe. Each universe had 7 weapons, mixing bolter fire, blades and cross-universe relics, along with characters to unlock and secrets to find.

Starting tips in the demo warned that the first run would probably be short, pointed players to the Power Up and Unlocks menus, and encouraged trying different characters. Save data does not transfer to the full game.

Player Numbers

Updates

In early June 2026 Auroch Digital released a small update after players found the Age of Sigmar side too punishing; errors in how drop rates were handled were fixed so the universe played as intended. Players also reported chests that could not be reached, which the developer later listed among its fixes for the full game. The studio said it would then focus on the full game rather than further demo changes.

Removal From the Store

On July 15, 2026 the developer announced that the first demo's store listing would be removed after July 22, 2026, to make way for a new demo with the changes made to the full game. Players who already had it kept it in their Steam library.

Second Demo (October 2026)

A brand-new demo arrived on October 6, 2026, the same day the release date and price were announced. It adds two new champions, the Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Ravenya, plus new weapons and abilities and a range of improvements. Progress from the first demo does not carry over to it, and its progress will not transfer to the full game.

Feedback That Shaped the Full Game

After the first demo, Auroch said it was looking at rebalancing enemies, characters and weapons, cross-universe currency sharing, and quality-of-life fixes such as skippable sequences, all subject to change. It said it was not looking to change the mix of weapons that aim automatically and weapons that do not. See Gameplay and Progression and Unlocks.
