Is There Co-Op in Warhammer Survivors?

Warhammer Survivors takes the gameplay formula of Vampire Survivors and adds the Warhammer universe with its characters, weapons, and setting, creating an action-packed bullet-heaven experience that’s extremely fun. But one thing it doesn’t take from Vampire Survivors is the online aspect. 

Here is everything you need to know about online play and co-op in Warhammer Survivors.

Does Warhammer Survivors Have Online or Local Co-Op?

Unlike Vampire Survivors, Warhammer Survivors does not support online multiplayer or local co-op. It’s a strictly single-player game. You’ll have to take on the Tyranid hordes, Skaven, and other enemies on your own.

Auroch Digital previously addressed the question in a community discussion, explaining that the team was focusing on the single-player experience at launch. The developers added that they would let players know if that changed and multiplayer was introduced in the future.

What About the Squad System?

Although you can’t play alongside another person, Warhammer Survivors does have a Squad System that can make your character feel less alone during a run.

Certain weapons and characters have keywords. If you pick up a weapon that your character cannot use, a Follower can join your squad and help attack nearby enemies. These allies have their own weapons, which can be upgraded and evolved just like your regular arsenal.

However, these Followers are controlled by the game. They are AI companions, not additional players, so the Squad System does not function as a substitute for co-op. 

But one might say there is an opportunity here for co-op to be built on top of this feature, where instead of bots, it would include your friends.

Will Warhammer Survivors Get Multiplayer in the Future?

At the time of writing, there is no confirmation that multiplayer will be added to the game. The developers have not revealed anything. But the developers aren’t against it. Maybe if the game does well, they might end up adding the feature later. 

Until the developers announce otherwise, you should expect Warhammer Survivors to remain a solo experience.
