Dotemu confirmed a new action platformer, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster, for the Nintendo Switch 2 during this week's Warhammer Skulls Showcase, and Auroch Digital released a fresh trailer for its roguelite Warhammer Survivors alongside a playable demo on Steam.
Both announcements highlight continued investment in Warhammer licensed games across console and PC platforms.
Background and release window
Dotemu, the publisher and developer known for Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, presented Deathmaster as a new entry in the Age of Sigmar line.
The title is slated to arrive at some point in 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Auroch Digital also used the showcase to expand visibility for Warhammer Survivors, publishing a new trailer and making a demo available on Steam for players to try.
Game details and rewritten statements
Developer materials describe Deathmaster as a dark, stealth-focused action platformer that centers on a Skaven assassin named Vihneek.
In journalistic terms, Dotemu says players will control Vihneek, a hooded Ratman whose ruthless ambition and loyalty to a shadowy Eshin clan drive a campaign of traps, stealth kills and environmental tactics through atmospherically decayed Skaven environments.
The game promises a focus on stealth mechanics, lethal encounters against a range of Skaven foes, and a detailed art direction geared toward suspense and unsettling worldbuilding.
Regarding Warhammer Survivors, Auroch Digital's trailer demonstrates new enemy factions and champions.
Paraphrasing the developer, the latest footage shows playable universes from Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar being overrun by Chaos forces, including the resilient Death Guard and the ferocious Blades of Khorne, while new champions are introduced to counter these threats.
A Steam demo is available now for players wishing to sample the roguelite combat and progression.
What this means for platforms and players
Both announcements reinforce the presence of Warhammer properties on modern hardware, with Deathmaster targeting the Nintendo Switch 2 and Warhammer Survivors offering PC access via Steam.
While Nintendo Direct and the eShop remain key channels for Switch-related reveals and releases industry-wide, these particular updates were delivered through the Warhammer Skulls Showcase and developer channels.
For fans tracking release windows and demos, Deathmaster carries a 2027 arrival window for Switch 2, and Warhammer Survivors can be tested immediately on Steam via its demo.
Further details, including pricing and exact release dates, will be confirmed by the respective developers and publishers in future updates.
