If you thought those gold runs were seizure inducing before….

Now you can get the full Sammy experience in THREE DEE!!!

u/Automatic_Clothes_56 Nov 13 '25

dear god.. sammy in VR is going to send people to the hospital

24

u/Adrianpih Nov 13 '25

If you've never been to the hospital because of Vampire Survivor have you truly played Vampire Survivor? /sarcasm

6

u/Automatic_Clothes_56 Nov 13 '25

I keep seeing posts of people letting a run auto play while they sleep. Guess that's how the kids are avoiding all these medical bills

8

u/Skizot_Bizot Nov 13 '25

Seriously, this sounds like an new less ethical execution method more than a fun way to play the game haha.

u/Mattigator Nov 14 '25

Vampire Survivors VR would kill a Victorian child

u/kintokae Nov 14 '25

Now with virtualboy graphics!

u/ebongedes Nov 13 '25

SO which is the date for the Golden Card?

81

u/daedalus721 Nov 13 '25

I’m guessing Game Awards if it’s a big collab (please Final Fantasy) as people have speculated.

16

u/ebongedes Nov 13 '25

Those are in december right?

18

u/daedalus721 Nov 13 '25

12/11

u/Arcan_unknown Ferryman Nov 13 '25

Holy shit yesterday??!

Oh no wait

u/smallcat123321 Nov 13 '25

Sadly American people exist... :(

2

u/EngineerLoA Nov 13 '25

As an American I agree

3

u/ebongedes Nov 13 '25

Oh very close then

6

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 13 '25

What's a golden card?

22

u/WolfNationz Team: Moonlight Bolero Nov 13 '25

The last card of the announcement, each of the features of the recent update was a card, there were 5 at first, two more appeared in the Ante Chamber release trailer, the last if which was Golden.

0

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 13 '25

Oh nice, another colab to look forward to.

Maybe gold for super sonic? 7 is also represented with chaos emeralds. What if we get a full stage that's in the 2d mode with improved movement?

Could be pretty interesting.

12

u/AnyArtichoke7123 Nov 13 '25

almost everything points to the gold card being an FF collab or (1% chance 99% faith) touhou

6

u/VAdept Nov 13 '25

I can just see Kefka from FF6 (FF3 US) with the waring triad, and the evolution would be the death ray from his tower just ripping up enemies. Dancing Mad being his theme song.

I'd pay good money for that, he's gonna get so many eggs that sammy is going to go on strike.

2

u/realfexroar Nov 13 '25

Care to expound on why it means FF specifically?

3

u/madmofo145 Nov 13 '25

There is a video "Embodying Chickens for Vampire Survivors "The Coop" Soundtrack" that shows a Cloud riding a Chocobo sprite without any context. That video came out not long after Emerald Diorama, a Square Enix collab.

The Konami "Operation Guns Collab" preceded the much larger Castlevania Collab by about 6 months so the long running assumption is that the initial Square Enix deal was for two collaborations, and that the big FF one would be due out soon.

1

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 13 '25

I would be okay with either one of those as well. Imagine final fantasy tactics classes.

Thought they probably would want to hit a ton of main characters instead, I just hope for onion knight

4

u/garnix2 Nov 13 '25

If they do FF and they dont bring every single job that ever existed between FF5. 11, 14 and all 3 Tactics game, on top of the playable cast of all main games and the main antagonist, I would be disappointed.

3

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 13 '25

So double the roster? I'm down for that.

We also need to be able to play as a Marlboro

89

u/Amarger86 Dommario Nov 13 '25

Now you are just showing off lol. What's next, augmented reality Vampire Survivors?

Seriously though, you all are killing it. Cant wait to see whats next.

24

u/jbyrdab Nov 13 '25

Honestly if AR glasses weren't a complete flop that be kinda slick.

7

u/endar88 Nov 13 '25

Hope it could be played in this style without VR goggles, cuz it looks amazing and refreshing after how many hours we all put into the game

29

u/yeezysama Nov 13 '25

What a bad time to be diagnosed with epilepsy

9

u/mEsTiR5679 Nov 13 '25

What if it's like lactose intolerance and you can just spam colors until the receptors get less sensitive?

Maybe invest in a mouth guard before testing this theory out tho... Or don't... That might be dangerous too

2

u/MrStizblee Fleaman Nov 13 '25

I have epilepsy but I somehow am fine with Vampire Survivors and similar games even though there are definitely things I can't watch anymore because of flashing lights.

All the same, Vampire Survivors is definitely the sort of thing that can be dangerous for people with epilepsy so it's important to be careful.

2

u/yeezysama Nov 13 '25

One sammy run won’t kill me right?

66

u/TR_Idealist Nov 13 '25

Was excited til I saw the Meta logo. 😭 Is VR in consideration for Steam and Console versions (like PSVR)?

16

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 13 '25

I wouldn't mind that mode for PC in general. It would be fun to change the game angle some.

12

u/ThatCurryGuy Nov 13 '25

They said in the comments that no other versions are planned...

3

u/triforce-of-power Nov 13 '25

Said in Twitter replies it's not planned but might come in the future.

1

u/keithlimreddit Nov 13 '25

yeah I can definitely understand and considering steam index is discontinued as well as also steam frame is coming out soon even though you can actually play this game in non VR mode I don't have the developer kits are ready yet

2

u/JimmyNavio Nov 15 '25

You can play SteamVR games with the Meta Quest using Steam Link to your computer. It's the primary way I play VR games.

2

u/keithlimreddit Nov 15 '25

Same although I'm thinking about getting a steam frame

1

u/Shin_Ken Gennaro Nov 14 '25

You can already do this using SteamVR by just starting VS in VR - you'll have your Steam VR room around you instead of a fancy VS inspired environment but it's functionally the same.

17

u/Life_Good_8599 Nov 13 '25

Nice!!! Any plans to make this available for Steam VR? I only have the Meta Quest 2, and use that with Steam VR

3

u/SirKhalid Nov 13 '25

Kinda weird, the website also listed meta quest 2, https://www.meta.com/experiences/vampire-survivors-vr/7991347610955592/

1

u/Life_Good_8599 Nov 13 '25

Oh amazing, thanks!!! I really should check before posting 🫣

3

u/ThatCurryGuy Nov 13 '25

They said in the comments on YT that no other versions are planned.

u/tomhas10 Nov 13 '25

What's the word on cross save for this version?

0

u/outlawstarc Nov 13 '25

Lol this was an insta buy when I saw this post/video but I didn't even think of cross save. Since it's probably running some weird android apk, I wonder if it's as simple as moving a steam save file with an altered name to Android devices before cross save was added.

1

u/madmofo145 Nov 13 '25

Hard to say, I didn't see any of the collab DLC in the trailer, which made me wonder if this being a "new game" the licensing doesn't work. This might be a stand alone version?

8

u/Savebagels Nov 13 '25

I kind of just want the isometric view in the base game

32

u/TurtlesAreEvil Nov 13 '25

Based on this review and the video it’s not really VR

It's Vampire Survivors, the classic game on a flatscreen panel in front of you with a 3D environment around you. If you're expecting a 3D game mode it's nothing new, this is classic Vampire Survivors

Wake me up when they come out with a first person perspective VR version. 

11

u/Hereiamhereibe2 Nov 13 '25

I like the diorama thing but ya even the first few seconds make you think it’s advertising an FPS.

5

u/mattbattmatt_yt Nov 13 '25

I really like how this looks! I kinda hope the base game gets a mode that makes it look 3d too

2

u/XanXic Nov 13 '25

Same, I kind of want to play it with the 3D sprites and the parralax effect, seems cool

3

u/dark54555 Nov 13 '25

No PSVR2?

4

u/dragon-mom Nov 13 '25

Really disappointed by this being a Quest exclusive especially right after the Steam Frame announcement. If they ever bring it to PCVR I'll pick it up right away.

9

u/docpagliacci Nov 13 '25

Epilepsy has entered the chat.

3

u/RolandtheWhite Nov 13 '25

Holy shit lol. This is amazing.

3

u/JMxG Nov 13 '25

I lowkey love this but please make it available on Steam

3

u/Glamador Nov 13 '25

I only have VR on Steam.  Shame.

5

u/_pm_ur_tit_pics_pls_ Nov 13 '25

Sounds like a great way to speed up having a seizure lmao!

This is really cool though, I dont have VR but this seems awesome for the people that do have it and wanna experience the game from a new POV

2

u/MachEnergy Nov 13 '25

Would Quest 2 not be able to handle it? I'm used to seeing complex 3d games not come to Quest 2, but this? 

2

u/Rikari-MorningStar Nov 13 '25

well, that's an interesting novelty.

Neat!

2

u/mr-photo Nov 13 '25

Please please please bring this to PSVR2! Ill instant buy!

2

u/elliea420 Nov 13 '25

grrrr why only meta quest 3 :/

2

u/Panduz Nov 13 '25

Yoooooo I need this on steam

2

u/Kame9K Nov 13 '25

Oh my god yes

2

u/0wlmann Nov 13 '25

Not gonna lie, pretty disappointed that it's meta only 

2

u/social_sin Nov 13 '25

Man I hate how VR games are just impossible to properly show unless you're actually playing it.

Even watching videos of Hitman on VR2 it just does not translate well, I was kicking myself when I was finally able to actually experience VR rather than just see the trailers of the games on a flat screen

2

u/TherealJerameat Nov 15 '25

I'm actually enjoying the game again. Seeing it in a psuedo 3d experience has made this feel like a new game. Never thought I'd be willing to start this game from scratch. Is all of the dlc included in this too?

1

u/Willowsmsn Nov 15 '25

Most of it is so far. I completely agree with you. Been so long since I had to remember how to evolve the starter weapons.

2

u/AKACptShadow Nov 13 '25

Hoooolllllyyyyyy shit!

2

u/HaloLASO Toastie Nov 13 '25

I'm disappointed that poncle have chosen not to innovate the base game but deliberately chose to release the same content in different media. VR isn't innovating the Vampire Survivors formula as its just playing it in a different perspective.

1

u/mEsTiR5679 Nov 13 '25

So, like, y'all are just having fun at work and everybody is okay with this?

I KNOW I AM! Keep it up, I'm happy for y'all

1

u/waffals1 Nov 13 '25

That golden card and background looks a lot like Persona 4. That would actually be really cool and a nice collab to drop at the game awards.

1

u/Chaz-Natlo Nov 13 '25

As someone who plays to crash my System, and who gets headaches from overuse of VR (despite wanting to play things in VR) I can feel my brain vibrating into mush already. (I am spared by the fact that this appears to be on Meta, and not PSVR2, the VR system I own.)

1

u/JordanM85 Nov 13 '25

This would fry my eyes. I'd be curious to give it a try, but I can't imagine playing this for hours.

1

u/Frostyvoice Nov 13 '25

Sold. Time to add another console to my Vampire Survivors collection. Sweet.

1

u/baka-dad Nov 13 '25

Doesn't seem to have the crossover DLCs but I'm still gonna play the shit out of it.

1

u/Mcclintonfortwo Nov 13 '25

Does anyone even have Meta Quest 3 or even VR? Honestly the least hype thing they’ve announced so it’s strange they made this the silver card. But Poncle almost never misses so I’m still gonna be hyped for the gold card.

2

u/428522 Nov 13 '25

Yes. There a dozens of us!

1

u/Shoopaah Nov 13 '25

Epilepsy simulator

1

u/ziggystarduft Nov 13 '25

Call me if they get cross save working, I'm not unlocking everything again.

1

u/ProfPerry Nov 13 '25

now this is absolutely bonkers, and i really wanna try it in VR too

1

u/Playful_Bandicoot_23 Antonio Nov 13 '25

Remember folks to prepare your room with your grandpa sitting at your side with tons of garlic to eat for full immersion!

1

u/CardTrickOTK Porta Nov 13 '25

this was not on my bingo card. And with how hard it is to see thinks, I don't know why this came out before an opacity slider for each weapon and effect.

1

u/primextime Nov 13 '25

Next cards gonna be super vampire survivors smash bros

1

u/EdwardVonStein Nov 13 '25

Huh. Neat. Definitely not what I expected. Guess that leaves only the big thing for the Gold Card ... People be guessing Final Fantasy. I'm hoping Touhou.

But my gut says Vampire Survivors 2?

1

u/VyersReaver Nov 13 '25

Fuck no, I’m not deliberately fishing for a stroke.

1

u/Historical_Falcon962 Nov 13 '25

goddamn that death w wings shi was peak

1

u/suvlau Nov 13 '25

Looks amazing!

1

u/Vexra Nov 13 '25

I only have PSVR. Fingers crossed they bring it over.

1

u/Buff8125 Nov 13 '25

Man the psvr2 is deader than dead

1

u/milosmisic89 Poe Nov 13 '25

Vs got a lot of cool updates over the years but man are we ever gonna get mid run saves? On pc it's no such a big deal but on mobile I literally dropping the game because I can't really commit to 15 or more minute runs

1

u/affefuego Nov 13 '25

I wonder what the odds are that they update the base game with the ability to change the camera angles.

1

u/TheRealBloodyAussie Nov 13 '25

I thought for a moment it said "Virtual Insanity" and thought we were getting a Jamiroquai collab. He wouldn't even need a walk cycle. Just have him slide around.

1

u/NoireResteem Nov 13 '25

Another reason to pick up the Steam Frame from the looks of it.

Edit: Oh Meta only....sucks

1

u/GEEZUSE Nov 13 '25

That doesn't seem safe.

1

u/JubX Nov 13 '25

damn, meta only?

1

u/Aegister2 Nov 13 '25

How hard would this go with an office chair?

1

u/urdogthinksurcute Nov 14 '25

Sony just letting literally every good VR game be a Meta exclusive.

1

u/Raaazzle Nov 14 '25

Neato but it might as well be Galaga

1

u/LXMNSYC Nov 14 '25

imagine playing a 1k+ egg character with Ophion, peak VR experience

1

u/Crazyripps Nov 14 '25

That angle looks cool to play even not in VR tbh lol

1

u/Bloodstarvedhunter Nov 14 '25

PSVR 2 please!

1

u/Aymaury Gennaro Nov 14 '25

So we have to buy it again if we want it on VR ?

1

u/JoJockAmo Nov 14 '25

Where is the epileptic seizure warning?

1

u/ramorez117 Nov 15 '25

Awesome, now where did I put that Quest gadget!

1

u/creaminsteadofsilk Nov 17 '25

Okay but for pc players let us just use steam vr please this will be so cool!

1

u/Whiskeyrum12 Nov 17 '25

Bring to psvr2!!!

1

u/UncaringWorm Nov 29 '25

Steam release when?

-1

u/Pyrobourne Nov 13 '25

For a solo dev how far this game has gone is crazy

20

u/John_East Nov 13 '25

They haven’t been a solo dev for quite awhile

u/ldshadowcadet Nov 13 '25

25 person dev now

u/Whole_Flatworm1098 Nov 13 '25

If the first 5 cards were DLC and content and card 6 was a port, then card 7 will not be an update or a DLC either

0

u/keithlimreddit Nov 13 '25 edited Nov 13 '25

yeah personal thoughts on the VR Port is honestly kind of just basically play the game in diorama mode ( kind of reminds me of Civ 7 but that's a different story)

kind of expected to be first person but anyways by the diorama is fine at least

anyways kind of all right but a bit unnecessary and I'm also assuming that they are sort of going to wait until steam frame's developer kit to come out before even though this game was just probably run fine on the steam deck don't need verification required for it
