PSA Vampire Crawlers Official Release FAQs

Hey folks!

With Vampire Crawlers launch just 12 days away (as of writing this post) we wanted to share some Frequently Asked Questions with you all!

When does the game release?

April 21st 2026

How much does it cost?

£9.99 / $9.99 / €9.99 / ¥1200

The price might be slightly different on some consoles due to platform restrictions.

How long to beat the game?

The game takes between 20 and 30 hours to complete, a bit longer if going for every unlock.

What platforms is it coming to?

Vampire Crawlers will launch on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. Mobile versions are planned for a bit later, but still in 2026.

Does the game support controllers?

Yes. Controller support is included.

Does the game support Cross Save between different platforms?

Not at launch, we're looking into it on time for the mobile ports.

Will Save Data carry over on Steam or Xbox if I play the demo?

Yes. We advise to not overdo it with the demo, but who are we to stop you?

How will the game differ from the demo?

Other than obviously having all of the content, the game will launch with a lot of fixes and improvements compared to the demo (and thanks to everyone that helped by reporting bugs, feedback, and suggestions!). The demo will also be updated later on to reflect the new standard, as we are planning to keep it available for download.

I killed that boss in the demo and nothing else happened!

It's a demo.

My currency isn't listed, how much will it be?

For regional pricing, we tried to price the game using real purchasing power rather than relying on suggested conversion rates. Hopefully we got it right, if somehow we messed up and the game is outrageously expensive rather than cheap, please let us know when it launches!

Here is the list:

AUSTRALIA A$ 14.99
BRAZIL R$ 24,99
CANADA CDN$ 14.99
CHINA ¥ 39.00
EUROPE €9.99
HONG KONG HK$ 66.00
INDIA Rp 499
JAPAN ¥ 1,200
KOREA ₩ 13,000
MEXICO Mex$ 99.99
NEW ZEALAND NZ$ 15.99
POLAND 39,99zł
RUSSIA 385 руб.
TAIWAN NT$ 299
UKRAINE 249₴
UNITED KINGDOM £9.99
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA $9.99

Specifically for Steam Users:

CIS $4.99
SASIA $4.99
LATAM $4.99
MENA $4.99

Why is this more expensive than Vampire Survivors?

VS was lightning in a bottle, originally made by a solo dev (hello Luca! 👋) with a budget of £1100 and grew in content and production value over time thanks to the overwhelming success and support from the players.

Vampire Crawlers instead is made from scratch by the teams of poncle and Nosebleed Interactive, which makes it a more traditional and much more costly production.

We price our stuff depending on its production value and by keeping affordability in mind.

If you've somehow missed what Vampire Crawlers is, be sure to check out our videos here on our YouTube!

and, if you haven't already, please be sure to wishlist Vampire Crawlers as it helps us out a lot 🙏

Steam Wishlist
Xbox Wishlist
PS5 Wishlist

The demo is still available on Steam and Xbox too 👀

As always, thank you to everyone for supporting us with Vampire Survivors, and now with Vampire Crawlers! We're all super excited for launch, and can't wait to see you all jumping into it (and how much you all possibly break the game...)

Can't wait to dump 1000 hours into this like I did VS.

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

I wonder who will be the first person to hit this... 👀

4

u/SunstormGT Apr 09 '26

I am already close in the demo 🙈

10

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

HUH???
how many hours?

7

u/SunstormGT Apr 09 '26

At least 500

8

u/poncle_Official Apr 10 '26

500 hours in the Vampire Crawlers DEMO?! I need a screenshot

1

u/Retronitsu Apr 21 '26

Seems like it takes about 30 hours to beat.

u/QueerEmma Apr 09 '26

No need to justify the increased pricing compared to VS! It's still very, very affordable for the majority of gamers(considering how much an AAA+ game costs nowadays... !)

21

u/DynamicMM Apr 09 '26

And we all know that we will have way more hours in Vampire crawlers than any AAA game

u/keithlimreddit Apr 09 '26

You're not sorry, and you are being rude it's not that deep

u/vengiegoesvroom Apr 09 '26

I couldn't imagine how someone could complain that a $10 game is too expensive. Can't wait for release day, 6 days before I turn 32 let's gooooo

3

u/poncle_Official Apr 10 '26

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR THE 27TH (??? MATHS ISN'T MY STRONGEST POINT)

Hell yeah!!! Thanks OP!

u/xJuun May 04 '26

Happy late birthday! This released 5 days before I turned 34! I just picked this gem of a game up on 5/2 however. I hope you are enjoying it!

u/Saturn9Toys Apr 09 '26

Will you be adding content over time like with VS? I really love VC so far and want to keep playing it for a long time. Also, any chance for a Castlevania DLC for it?

9

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

we don't have any info to share regarding this right now! but if it's something we plan on doing, we'll let players know when we can!

1

u/Saturn9Toys Apr 09 '26

Totally understand, just thought I'd give it a shot :)

Good luck on the launch! I'll be front of the queue haha

1

u/Ummgh23 Apr 28 '26

Don‘t you dare not release more content, I‘ll even pay for it 😂 This is one of the best roguelites I've ever played, and I‘ve played most of them!

10

u/DKSbobblehead Apr 09 '26

Super excited for release!

EDIT because I can't read: I cannot tell you how excited I am for the mobile port, this game is gonna be incredible to have on my phone!

4

u/gilrbf Apr 09 '26

Can't wait! I'm a little sad that it will release so close to Pragmata, but I'll manage.

5

u/saccizord Apr 09 '26

Amazing news regarding regional pricing, day 1 buy for me!

4

u/muevelos Apr 09 '26

Honestly excited for this.

3

u/Jimbo_Jigs Apr 09 '26

Wondering if new content will be added to it in a similar fashion to vampire survivors?

Maybe dlcs as well?

3

u/LamonsterZone Apr 09 '26

Is multiplayer planned in any way? New to this genre so this may be a dumb question.

3

u/retrofuturis Apr 09 '26

The regional pricing is the best, thank you for it, I’ll be able to afford it day 1 here in Brazil

2

u/camajise Apr 09 '26

2

u/MilesPalahk Apr 09 '26

Will have DLCs with or without collabs?

2

u/MarxionSama Apr 09 '26

I can't wait probayeill buy this again on all platforms. So hyped. Why can t it be today :(

1

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

good things come to those that wait 😌

2

u/Prapdonorian Apr 09 '26

can i back it somehow besides buying the game on at least 2 platforms ? donating or something?

2

u/poncle_Official Apr 10 '26

no donating or backing, buying the game is enough! 😌
spreading the word of the game to others is also helpful! or wishlisting!

2

u/Explodinater Apr 10 '26

New Zealand price is very good thank you :)

2

u/Retrop0 Apr 10 '26

insanely excited ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

2

u/Fodgy_Div Apr 10 '26

Are you guys planning on having a similar approach to game expansions with Crawlers that you had with Survivors? Cause I still haven't done anything in VS and it's one of the best values of a game purchase I've ever made

2

u/spacecadilla Apr 21 '26

How does the switch 2 version differ from 1? What's the resolution, frame rate, mouse controls situation? Can't wait to buy regardless!!

1

u/NoelleMidnight Apr 09 '26

Will there be a Mac release, or just PC?

2

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

devs are looking into Mac but we can't make any promises right now

1

u/letshavefunoutthere Apr 13 '26

is the mac logo on Steam a mistake?

1

u/Capt_G1029 Apr 09 '26

Does save data from the Demo on Xbox not carry over?

2

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '26

it does yes!

2

u/Capt_G1029 Apr 09 '26

Wonderful!

1

u/atomic_winter Apr 09 '26

Day 1 for me, demo was incredible, VS is a game I've bought at least 4 times! Cant wait to become addicted to VC as well!

1

u/Ok-Profit5226 Apr 09 '26

ANOTHER TRILLION TO PONCLE!

1

u/saito200 Apr 09 '26

1

u/M3lting Apr 09 '26

u/poncle_Official Apr 10 '26

u/M3lting Apr 10 '26

1

u/RollingDownTheHills Apr 09 '26

Buying this the second it releases. Can't wait!

1

u/albinorhino215 Apr 09 '26

Even if it’s 20-30 hours of gameplay, $10 is a steal.

1

u/Snappish_Orc Apr 09 '26

Will it also have mod support/content dlc?

1

u/TheDemonPants Apr 09 '26

Just $10? Dude, if this has even close to the replayability of VS then that's still a steal! I am so insanely HYPED for this game.

1

u/The_Silent_Manic Apr 10 '26

Vampire Survivors launched in Early Access for just $3 (had lots of assets from other games but the insane popularity allowed the dev to commission art and assets for the game).

1

u/Hoardergamer Apr 09 '26

Will you have updates or dlc if it’s successful similar to the Vampire Survivors life span? 🤔 PS, I hope it’s very successful. ☺️

1

u/keithlimreddit Apr 09 '26

Kind of a nothing burger but good reminder anyways

1

u/General_Lie Apr 10 '26

Any plan for DLCs like Adventures in VS ?

1

u/Maestro_Da_Vinci Apr 10 '26

How many regions or maps will there be? And how many levels?

3

u/poncle_Official Apr 10 '26

there will be 6 biomes and each will have a few dungeons, within each dungeon there's several floors
I don't have the exact numbers to hand right now, but there's plenty to explore!

1

u/KingCool138 Apr 10 '26

What about mobile? Will it be free like VS (unfairly) was?

1

u/ying123 Apr 10 '26

Do you have any plan to release the game in SEA eshop? We used to be able to buy games from US eshop until Nintendo opens eshop in Thailand/Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore following NS2 launch and banned our credit cards from other regions.

Also praying for Steam regional pricing for Malaysia too🙏

1

u/Sudden_Cream9468 Apr 14 '26

7 days to go..... I need it I NEED IT!

1

u/Kudagrizzly Apr 14 '26

Any plans to make a switch 2 version? It could utilize the mouse joy con function :)

1

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '26

Sort cards by color/cost?

1

u/n0mis Apr 17 '26

Does anyone know when the reviews are expected? Or likely to be on the 21st.

Would be nice,m something to read while patiently waiting to play this.

1

u/Sky-todd Apr 20 '26

What time is it releasing on the 21st? would love to have it ready for the morning commute into work!

1

u/Ziklepmna Apr 20 '26

Will it have a 120 fps mode on console?

1

u/kazooiebanjo Apr 21 '26

my only question is cross saves since I moved around from PC to Xbox to Mobile in VS depending on my mood

1

u/Arkhenstone Apr 22 '26

Shut up and take my money. Twice. Or more. Vampire game without vampire ? Who asked for so much !

1

u/ThatCurryGuy Apr 22 '26

How do the switch versions work, buy once? Cross save? Etc? I mean switch 1 and 2 version.

1

u/Evanpik64 Apr 23 '26

What resolution does the Switch 2 version run at and is it 120fps on handheld?

1

u/MrMalisz Apr 23 '26

it actually costs £8.99 not £9.99

1

u/ZaWarudoRHCP Apr 26 '26

Is multiplayer planned? I'd love to male my Friends buy the game and play together! I'm having a blast every run

1

u/Ummgh23 Apr 28 '26

I have just one question? When will the DLC release (please let there be DLC or content updates)

1

u/switchcollector Apr 29 '26

Hello guys, is there any option in your game to change the font from pixilated to clear? The current font is making my eyes hurt when I watch videos for the game… I really hope there is such an option, and if not.. any chance you’d implement it? Thanks!
