Warhammer Survivors roadmap promises new characters, weapons and cross-save

What the roadmap covers

Auroch Digital has published a roadmap for Warhammer Survivors, the Survivors-like action game that is out now on iOS and Android. According to Pocket Gamer, most of the plan consists of free updates over the coming months.

Those updates will add new characters and weapons to both halves of the game, the Warhammer 40,000 setting and the Age of Sigmar setting. Quality-of-life fixes are part of the package as well.

Smaller patches will fill the gaps between the larger content drops. Pocket Gamer reports that some of these patches are due before the end of the year.

Cross-save across every platform

Cross-save is also on the way. This feature lets players carry their progress and unlocks between different devices and platforms.

It matters here because Warhammer Survivors launched almost everywhere at once, on phones, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Pocket Gamer suggests that moving unlocks from a home console to a phone during a commute is the update most worth waiting for.

No specific date for cross-save was given in the roadmap coverage.

A mystery update still under wraps

The largest piece of planned content is not named yet. The roadmap lists it only as redacted, with clues hidden in the roadmap image for players who want to guess what it is.

Auroch Digital has not confirmed what this expansion contains or when it will arrive. Readers should treat any speculation about its contents as unconfirmed until the studio announces it.

Early reception and context

Pocket Gamer has published a review of Warhammer Survivors, with a verdict that the game has heart but lacks a certain spark. The outlet notes its own team has not agreed on the game either.

The comparison hanging over the game is Vampire Survivors, the title that defined the genre. That game did not arrive fully formed either, and much of what players love about it arrived through years of updates and expansions.

The argument from Pocket Gamer is that charm is harder to patch in than content, but that if Auroch Digital keeps up the current pace, the game could find its footing sooner rather than later.

Where to play it

Warhammer Survivors is available now on the App Store and Google Play. The roadmap updates described above will roll out to both mobile versions alongside the other platforms.

Players who want to follow the plan should keep an eye on Auroch Digital's official channels for dates on the individual patches and the eventual reveal of the redacted content.
