Vampire Crawlers is out now!2026-04-21Today, we are releasing Vampire Crawlers, a new spin-off set in the Vampire Survivors universe.It takes the familiar chaos of Vampire Survivors and turns it into a casual, turn-based, card-driven BLOBBER with roguelite elements.We’ve talked before about wanting to take some of the accidental core pillars of Vampire Survivors and apply them to other genres: accessibility, immediacy, affordability, replayability, lightheartedness, and the usual amount of flashy nonsense.

Thank you from everyone at poncle! As usual we have to start with a thank you.

Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns DLC is coming to Steam on May 9th2024-04-10Today we are announcing Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns, our second collab DLC, made in collaboration with the KONAMI's Contra team! You might have noticed a couple of very obscure hints in Vampire Survivors about how much we admire and remember fondly playing all the iconic game series sparked by KONAMI over the years, which is why when we got the opportunity to work with their Contra team we took it immediately! It's been surreal and a lot of fun to retrieve old memories of playing Contra with randos at the arcade, or with friends on a home console, and reinterpret them in a Vampire Survivors sauce.
