Vampire Survivors is getting a spin-off. It’s known as Vampire Crawlers, and it is a first-person, roguelike, deck builder dungeon crawler that has all of the addictive sound results and visuals of Vampire Survivors.
In an Xbox Wire post following the announcement, developer poncle supplied extra details about what to anticipate. Vampire Crawlers takes place in the identical world as Vampire Survivors with the identical characters, objects, and apparently even in-jokes. Nevertheless, it is a utterly new style and perspective. You will choose a crawler – a returning Vampire Survivors character – and with them discover dungeons, construct your deck of assaults and utilities, and battle enemies utilizing your playing cards. There’s even a card customization mechanic that wil lchange the way you play your playing cards.
Poncle is obvious that that is a spin-off, not a sequel, and “hopefully the primary in a sequence of spin-offs”. He provides that he’s engaged on one thing relating to a sequel, however is not in a position to discuss it but.
Vampire Crawlers is out in 2026 for Xbox Collection, PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Swap.
Vampire Survivors, in the meantime, is nice. It launched seemingly out of nowhere into early entry in December of 2021, and a few months later was a enormous hit. It made waves for its simplicity but addictive nature, in addition to its cheeky humor and riffs on Castlevania regardless of, gameplay-wise, being nothing like Castlevania. In our 8/10 evaluate, we mentioned it is “outwardly easy however seems to be an extremely deep gap to fall down – although it is not with out prolonged uninteresting intervals if you get forward of its curve.”
You’ll be able to meet up with all the things introduced at in the present day’s Xbox Companion Presents proper right here.
