Warhammer Survivors roadmap: free characters and weapons before 2027

By Gaming On Steam ·

Auroch Digital has just laid out a free post-launch roadmap for Warhammer Survivors. We already tested it on Steam Deck in our video, and it is an easy 60 FPS. Valve has it Verified on both the Deck and Steam Machine, so what matters now is the new stuff coming, and the bits they still need to fix.

The roadmap went up on 13 November. Before the end of 2026, we get new characters, weapons and weapon evolutions. January 2027 brings everyday fixes and cross-save. They have not said which platforms that cross-save covers, so I am not going to claim it will sync with a console. Later in the first quarter of 2027, more champions and items arrive, then a still-redacted slot they are teasing on the roadmap image. Hotfixes will keep landing in between, and version 2.1.6 already shipped on 11 November.

They are being honest about the current state of the game. Reviews are Mixed, with 67% of 1,985 reviews positive, and Auroch says the big problem is that enemies are too tanky. Too many bolter shots or chainsword swings to bring them down, in their words, and fixing that balance is the priority.

The game is still busy. Just over 11,000 people were playing when I checked, and our GOS Companion App has logged a seven-day peak of 16,459.

If you are on a Deck or a Steam Machine, those Verified ratings still stand. The one caveat on the handheld is that an external pad cannot be player 1, so stick to the built-in controls. We went through the performance in more detail in our earlier article, Warhammer Survivors on Steam Deck: an easy 60 FPS, and in the video below.

Warhammer Survivors is £6.39 on Steam, and it is currently 10% off at £5.75, with that launch discount running until 17 November at 18:00 UK time. You can grab it, or read the official roadmap, from the Steam store page.
