Vampire Survivors Meets Overlord in Necrosmith, Out Now On Android

Vampire Survivors is the gift that keeps on giving, dropping a local multiplayer mode, flashy new engine and a whole bunch of other free stuff on top of a game that is already more than well worth its modest price tag. In the case of the screen-filling slay-’em-up’s next big update, it’s now a Christmas gift that keeps on giving, with a Santa’s sack worth of winter-inspired additions on the way. Oh, and it all arrives tomorrow. That’s nice.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since poncle teased a new update for their genre-defining smash-hit Vampire Survivors, with a typically humorous trailer that showcased a new map, a new weapon, and even a new playable character. Since then it’s been radio silence, until today, when a release date for the new update, titled Whiteout, was suddenly announced via the official poncle Twitter account. Basically, Vampire Survivors is releasing a substantial free update sooner than you would think. Read on for all the exciting details.

Vampire Survivors is still occupying my mind and my Steam library’s installed games years after its release. Poncle sucked me into its endless cycle of bullet-hell combat almost instantly, and I haven’t been able to escape it since. It looks like I’ll be hopping back into the game yet again soon, thanks to a major free update. With steady patches and DLC releases, the game expands regularly, leaving a variety of new content to traverse through and a slew of achievements to work towards.

Steam Next Fest, the digital event swarming with cool demos, has countless games aiming at a piece of Vampire Survivors' pie. Take a casual scroll through the available demos, and you’ll see dozens of top-down, auto-battling, roguelike, bullet heaven mash-ups. That was to be expected. But I wasn’t expecting to stumble on Cursorblade, which is already an absolute roguelike banger in my eyes and potentially outshines the subgenre's big daddy.

It might sound like reading the back of a bottle of Loctite and give you a sticky feeling, but this new visual novel from Ratalaika games about building a bond between two female students while seeking the love of your life, is out now and available for only $9.99.

When we brought you news of Lamplighters League heading to Xbox, we knew it would be dropping in a busy October, but turn-based strategy fans can now dive in, with the game available on Xbox and also Included in Gamepass.

Vampire Survivors landed like a lightning bolt lobbed by Zeus himself. The moment it made contact, everything it touched was changed forever, and in its place, a new normal was established. Whilst not the first, Vampire Survivors is the game that popularised and thrust a whole new genre into the hands of gamers everywhere. 

It hasn’t been long since poncle graced us with the game-changing local co-op update for Vampire Survivors, and yet something new is already on the horizon. Vampire Survivors’ free ‘Chilling Update’, which promises to add a new map, weapon, character, and relic to the game’s heaving list of content, has just been announced, and we’ve got all the details on what you can expect from its wintry waves.

Acclaimed minimalist survival RPG Vampire Survivors is done with summer and is heading for frostier climes, courtesy of its next free content update, the Chilling Update, which just recieved a first trailer ahead of its arrival «soon».

Vampire Survivors is set to receive another update soon, which plans to ass an entirely new map to the game alongside several new features completely free of charge. The “chilling update” will provide players with a new weapon, relic, and playable character alongside several new enemy types to face off against. Currently, there are no details on when exactly we can expect this update to roll out; it’s just scheduled to be ‘coming soon’.

Vampire Survivors is getting a new update soon. It's called the Chilling Update, not because it's scary (though you may think it is) but because it features a new map—called Ultra Whiteout—with lots of snow in it. Not only snow, but also floating skulls and angry-looking, snow-covered yowies. 

Developer Poncle has stated that it is looking into the possibility of bringing online co-op to Vampire Survivors. Speaking during an AMA on Reddit, Poncle said that it is investigating online co-op for the game, but there is no guarantee of the feature actually coming to the title.
