🔧 Bug Fixes

• We're expecting to release the next patch in Q2 this year, since there are major features that require more work and testing compared to the usual content updates, like multiple save slots, content filters, or memory optimisations for low-end machines/devices.

✨ New Features

• In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the new stage, The Lycaeum:

• But update 1.15 is not the only thing we're working on... This year there's something ominous in the skies of Vampire Survivors 🌕

🔧 Bug Fixes

• We're still rolling out hotfixes on all platforms for version 1.14, but in the meantime we can start having a look at what's coming in the first patch of 2026. The patch has a lot of major QOL improvements that require a rework of some core systems; that is a lot of words to say it's most likely com
• [i]Platform achievements[/i]: to avoid the usual disruption, going forward we'll try to bundle all new Steam achievements in a single update at the end of the year (new in-game unlocks will work as usual). Platforms with stricter achievement policies (PS and Xbox) might still get them at the same ti

✨ New Features

• I knew I wouldn't have the bandwidth to do that entirely in-house for a very long time, that is why I tried to bring some of these new game concepts to other studios to start working together. This means that concepts like [b]Vampire Crawlers[/b] have been developing in the background for almost 4 y

• When making VS, I managed to put all of that aside and let it all come out organically while developing the game, by taking inspiration just from a weapon icon, a music track (from the usual VS composers Daniele Zandara and Filippo Vicarelli, who are back, covering each other’s music tracks for Vamp
• b]- Will you update Vampire Crawlers post-launch like Vampire Survivors?
• /b]Yes, we are already planning to keep supporting the game post-launch and we have a thousand ideas about what we could do! Vampire Crawlers is a whole game, with a beginning and an end, so we are going to wait and see what the players say and suggest before choosing what to do post-launch.
• /b][i]As I'm getting similar questions so I shall re-post. VC is not a deckbuild game. Could move subjectively but not a dungeon crawler game either. By incorporating with the concept of turbo(turning), it's totally brand new genre called action Turboturn™ game(Turbo Turn system).[/i]
