Vampire Survivors had a giant 2024 and what appears like a fair greater 2025 is on the way in which, which incorporates free updates to the motion roguelike that “can be a bit chunkier than ordinary.” Patience is requested from followers, nonetheless, as a result of “a variety of time is required to QA and launch patches now, since we’re on so many alternative platforms,” developer Poncle stated on Steam.
Poncle additionally stated there are extra Vampire Survivors tie-ins on the way in which this 12 months, the results of teaming up with different builders (like 2024’s Balatro collaboration for Friends of Jimbo).
And, along with the Vampire Survivors animated sequence we first heard about a few years in the past, there’s apparently additionally a live-action Vampire Survivors movie within the works. Don’t burst out of your home and sprint to the theater, although: the undertaking could possibly be a good distance off for a couple of totally different causes.
“As talked about final 12 months, slightly than leaping the gun and make stuff for the sake of creating it, we’ve got most popular to attend to seek out companions that felt proper, particularly as a result of to make something that is not a videogame out of VS requires good concepts, creativity, and that quirky data of the sport, that could be a very troublesome triplet to get 100% proper,” Poncle stated.
The different concern is one I want extra makers of videogame diversifications would pay attention to earlier than dashing a film to the large display screen with greenback indicators of their eyes. “Please bear in mind the sport has no plot,” Poncle says, including: “(it would not? 👀).” That makes it difficult to examine what a filmed model of the sport would even be. The studio says additionally it is “respecting all of the strikes and taking our time to get issues proper.”
Patches, updates, DLC, videogame tie-ins, a live-action movie and an animated sequence is not even the complete record of what Poncle is engaged on. “This 12 months we must also be capable of reveal a couple of different ‘cross-media’ issues we have been engaged on. I’m simply going to go away this sentence right here,” the developer stated cryptically.
Well, what else might there be to make? A card sport? A tabletop RPG? A Vampire Survivors theme park full of actual vampires? We’ll discover out later this 12 months. There’s tons extra data in Poncle’s submit on Steam, and beneath you may watch the 2024 Vampire Survivors wrap-up video.
