Warhammer Survivors delivers a fast-paced roguelite experience where players take on endless hordes in a battle for survival.

As part of its official announcement, Auroch Digital detailed a lineup of playable heroes set to feature in Warhammer Survivors.

In addition to Malum Caedo, fans can expect to battle through waves of enemies as:

- Chaplain Fo’Baran of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter, delivering righteous fury on the battlefield.

- Knight-Commander Pask, famed tank ace and the largest character to ever appear in Warhammer Survivors, whose command of a Leman Russ Tank brings massive destructive power.

- The Legend of Catachan, a lone jungle fighter renowned as a one-man army among the Catachan Jungle Fighters.
