Warhammer Survivors Characters: Every Confirmed Name So Far

Quick answer: Warhammer Survivors launches with more than 40 playable characters split across two universes, Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, at launch on November 10. As of the demo (October 2026), thirteen fighters have been named through official channels or press hands-on sessions, from Malum Caedo with his Chainsword to Neave Blacktalon with her Tempest Axes. Everyone else on the 40-plus roster is still unannounced, and this page marks those slots TBD rather than guessing.

• The official count is 40-plus characters, 75-plus weapons, and 15-plus stages.
• The 40K side currently has nine named fighters; the Age of Sigmar side has four.
• Only a handful of starting weapons and evolutions are confirmed; the rest are TBD.
• Unlock methods seen so far: story rescues, paint pots, and gold-based meta unlocks.

How Big the Roster Really Is

Auroch Digital puts the launch roster at more than 40 playable characters, a figure repeated on the Steam page and in every major launch report. That number covers both campaigns combined, not 40 per universe. The two campaigns keep separate unlocks, stages, and achievements, so progress on the 40K side does not carry fighters over to the Age of Sigmar side. Launch coverage also confirms the date and platform slate (Gematsu launch report).

Here is the honest state of the list as of the demo (October 2026): thirteen named characters, with starting weapons confirmed for only five of them and unlock conditions confirmed for even fewer. The table below lists every officially named fighter plus the remaining unannounced slots, which stay marked TBD until Auroch Digital or the press names them.

Warhammer 40,000 Characters

The 40K side leans on Space Marines, the Astra Militarum, and the Adepta Sororitas. Malum Caedo, the lead of Boltgun, is the face of this half of the roster and the opening character of the demo.

Morvenn Vahl is the best-documented 40K addition. Her Heavy Bolter Fidelis can trigger miracle bursts of fire rate and evolves into Purgator Mirabilis, which adds a missile volley. That evolution line comes straight from the PlayStation Blog reveal, making it one of the few launch builds you can plan around today. If you want her full breakdown, read the Morvenn Vahl and Lyssa Revenya guide.

Kozlowski matters more than his rank suggests. Rescuing him at a ? map event and then picking up a Lasgun recruits him as an NPC ally, which is the clearest in-game look at the squad system: signature weapons pull their owners onto your side. The ally squad system guide explains how that snowball works, and the Malum Caedo guide walks through the rescue step by step.

The Legend of Catachan joined with the new October demo. Finding him means pushing roughly two minutes northeast to a ? marker where Tyranid Warriors, buffed by a Synapse Emitter aura, surround him. Expect to make the trip more than once across runs, since early movement speed is slow.

Age of Sigmar Characters

The Age of Sigmar side is smaller in confirmed names but better documented in actual builds, because Neave Blacktalon headlines the demo alongside Caedo.

Neave owns the only fully mapped evolution in the game right now: Tempest Axes plus the Sabaton movement-speed passive become Whirlwind Axes wreathed in lightning. The Neave Blacktalon guide covers that recipe and the Skaven stage around it. For how her arsenal compares to the wider pool, see the weapon list.

Spelling warning: the official PlayStation Blog and official materials write Lyssa Revenya, while one launch report spells it Ravenya. This page uses Revenya and treats the other spelling as a press typo. Her Rope and Grapnel drags enemies together, and its evolution channels her spirit mentor Rhea into a banshee mist blast.

How Character Unlocks Work

Four unlock paths have been shown, and they stack rather than compete. First, ? map events hide recruitable fighters: walk to the marker, clear the surrounding pack, and the character joins the run. Kozlowski and the Catachan legend both work this way in the demo.

Second, paint pots unlock new character forms and secrets. The exact color combinations are undisclosed, so treat any recipe list you see before launch as unverified. Third, gold earned across runs feeds meta progression that unlocks characters, weapons, abilities, and relics from outside any single run. Fourth, the ally system turns signature weapons into recruitment tools mid-run: pick up a fighter's trademark gun and that fighter shows up beside you.

Campaign progress stays separate per universe, so unlocks earned on the 40K side do not open Sigmar fighters. Budget your demo time accordingly: hands-on reports put the current content at roughly two hours to see most objectives, which is enough to test both demo leads but not to map every system. The beginner guide has advice on which universe to start with, and the campaign comparison breaks down exactly what stays independent.

What Is Still Unannounced

Everything not named above stays TBD, and that is most of the roster: more than two dozen fighters, most starting weapons, nearly all unlock conditions, and all but three evolution recipes. A single community post also mentions an Auric Runemaster as a possible demo character, but with no official or press backing it stays off this page until launch confirms or denies it. The full achievement list, downloadable content plans, and cooperative play are likewise unannounced, and pages covering those topics say so directly instead of filling the gap.

FAQ

How many characters does Warhammer Survivors have? More than 40 across both universes at launch on November 10, per the official count. Thirteen are named so far; the rest are TBD on this page until official channels confirm them.

Is it Lyssa Revenya or Lyssa Ravenya? Revenya. That is the spelling in official materials and the PlayStation Blog reveal. One launch report writes Ravenya, which this page treats as a press typo.

How do you unlock new characters? Through ? rescue events, paint pot combinations, gold-based meta unlocks, and mid-run ally recruitment via signature weapons. Exact conditions for most of the roster are unannounced.

Do 40K unlocks carry over to Age of Sigmar? No. Hands-on reports confirm each campaign has independent unlocks, stages, and achievements, so the two rosters grow separately.
