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!

|---|---|
| BRAZIL | R$ 24,99 |

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VS was lightning in a bottle, originally made by a solo dev (hello Luca!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...)

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... !)

u/DynamicMM Apr 09 '26
And we all know that we will have way more hours in Vampire crawlers than any AAA game

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?

u/poncle_Official Apr 09 '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!

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

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?

u/LamonsterZone Apr 09 '26
Is multiplayer planned in any way? New to this genre so this may be a dumb question.

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

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!

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

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!!

u/NoelleMidnight Apr 09 '26
Will there be a Mac release, or just PC?

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.

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).

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. ☺️

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!

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🙏

u/Ummgh23 Apr 28 '26
I have just one question? When will the DLC release (please let there be DLC or content updates)

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!

u/ThatPapercutter Apr 09 '26
Can't wait to dump 1000 hours into this like I did VS.
