Vampire Survivors is getting a spin-off. It's called Vampire Crawlers, and it's a first-person, roguelike, deck builder dungeon crawler that has all the addictive sound effects and visuals of Vampire Survivors.

In an Xbox Wire post following the announcement, developer poncle offered more information about what to expect. Vampire Crawlers takes place in the same world as Vampire Survivors with the same characters, items, and apparently even in-jokes. However, it's a completely new genre and perspective. You'll pick a crawler - a returning Vampire Survivors character - and with them explore dungeons, build your deck of attacks and utilities, and battle enemies using your cards. There's even a card customization mechanic that wil lchange how you play your cards.

Poncle is clear that this is a spin-off, not a sequel, and "hopefully the first in a series of spin-offs". He adds that he is working on something regarding a sequel, but isn't able to talk about it yet.

Vampire Crawlers is out in 2026 for Xbox Series, PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.

Vampire Survivors, meanwhile, is great. It released seemingly out of nowhere into early access in December of 2021, and a few months later was a huge hit. It made waves for its simplicity yet addictive nature, as well as its cheeky humor and riffs on Castlevania despite, gameplay-wise, being nothing like Castlevania. In our 8/10 review, we said it's "outwardly simple but turns out to be an incredibly deep hole to fall down – though it's not without extended dull periods when you get ahead of its curve."
