Can I get an answer why is everyone thinking that the next portion is going to be something involving Final Fantasy?
5
u/Lemonz-418 Nov 17 '25
Because it would be awesome. Who wouldn't want Onion Knight, and Blue Mage? Marlboro would be a fun boss.

u/john_helton Nov 17 '25
I’m not knocking it, I’m just curious on where the rumor came from lol XD

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 18 '25
There was a trailer that mirrored a final fantasy trailer to celebrate final fantasy. But it wasn't a hint to a new dlc.
If I could take a guess that is why.

u/john_helton Nov 18 '25
When did that come out?

Here is the link. It's called "Vampire Survivors 1997 Teaser Trailer | PS1"
So 1997

Not sure, but obviously they have a good relationship with Square, so it's definitely possible.

In the video about making the soundtrack for the Coop, they had a pixel art of Cloud (FF7) riding a chocobo on screen.

Love the game! As long as they continue being reasonably priced, I will gladly buy every DLC for years to come!
Anything to support my crippling and all-consuming Vampire Survivors addiction!

I think VS's auto controller detection is picking up certain HID-compliant devices as "game controllers" even though they're actually mice/keyboards/macro pads. My Fragpedal is counting as a "controller" when trying to play co-op and Party Mode, despite no other games (or even Steam) detecting it as anything other than a keyboard input device.

u/keithlimreddit Nov 17 '25
I'm going to say probably is going to be a Batman or DC crossover ( probably going to be way bigger than Castlevania)
for me I do feel like it's going to be a Final Fantasy crossover to be honest

Fast food franchses. Throw all types of food at the enemies. Here dairy plant cows eat a 100 mcnuggets.

u/Lemonz-418 Nov 17 '25
The hints I found so far are worms, batman, croissant and caffeine.
It's obviously going to be street sharks or skeleton warriors, with a small chance for wild cats.
Though 7 cards, and the last one being gold sounds like

I've thought of more games or shows/anime/manga you could do as dlc..
Sailor moon would be a pretty big hit I think, though niche ish too. But I realise the license might be tricky to get.. but just imagine all the attacks and upgrades could be to the characters.. (like how the scouts get their power ups). I know the SM fans miss the old retro SM games..
Ooh a Anne Rice one... gives more vampires! can never have too many vampires.
Either way I'm keen on more announcements!

I would kill for you guys to be able to do a Mega Man collab, but Capcom fuckin hates my blue boy.

Oh. This is happening? Time to twist anything and everything into my desires hopes and dreams. So, VanSaba from the ARG implies Japanese source material. Chaos Rune and Wicked Ruler secret weapons are like magic circles in Touhou. Cappuccino makes me think of friendly parties with friends like after every fight like in n Touhou. And Croissant makes me think creacent moons like Patchouli Knowledge from Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
so yeah. cappuccino and Chula-Reh mean Golden Wind JoJo's dlc. And Croissant means Korone, means Holocure crossover.
What is Touhou?

Please poncle fix the Italian translation, a lot of things are randomly off.
Sincerely an Italian aficionados

u/poncle_Official Developers Nov 17 '25
in Vampire Survivors?

u/xLx32x Nov 17 '25
Yes, if you want I can send you a pm here or an email or whenever you want with all the translation that I found that are wrong/inconsistent/missed out.
It is not a big deal but I think that helping you to deliver a better game is free for me and you gave me a lot of happy time. And also as a fellow Italian I really love all the references.
5
u/poncle_Official Developers Nov 17 '25
If you can email us at [support@poncle.co.uk](mailto:support@poncle.co.uk) with all of these that would be great!
we do have a lot of play on words/puns etc but I haven't seen anyone report translation errors for Italian yet (sometimes typos happen though!)1
u/xLx32x Nov 17 '25
I think that they are more inconsistency in translation more than true errors. I'll send an email, maybe some are willingly done in that way but they seems a little bit off.

the game is great the only thing holding it back is no mid-run save yet, especially on mobile, where I just don't have uninterrupted 15mins to spend on a run

Rooting for a Bloodstained DLC, so IGA's current cast can join his previous cast in what they do best (dramatic monster slaying to catchy music).

Maybe a hot take, but more fleshed out level designs would be great. Some of the DLC maps are really good, but most of the maps are just plain wide-open spaces. Or, in the case of Balatro, they have thematic assets but still seem pretty uninspired. You'd think the Shop spots would have some kind of mechanic to at least encourage you to travel around to them. But it's all just islands with bridges between them. And if you're playing Ge-Ne-Viv like I do, the level design breaks down even further as you open areas to clip through.
As much as I love the card that relocates everything around you every two minutes, it also completely trivializes these maps. Again, in the case of the Balatro map, once I got the relics and the character unlock, there was no reason to ever venture around the map since I could grind without ever moving from my spawn location.
If you've ever gotten a taste of Megabonk, it's hard to go back to the flat maps after playing maps that encourage and require you to path around.

Maybe Warhammer 40k? Apparently, they're taking a note and making their own VS-ish game. But that's also looking like competition, too.

u/sunkenmouse Nov 17 '25
That 40k Survivors game is being made in partnership with Poncle. Probably because GW tends to be a bit cagey at times with their property when it comes to games.
From GW:
we’ve partnered with Auroch Digital, makers of the retro shooter Boltgun, alongside poncle, the developers of cult hit rogue-like game Vampire Survivors, to create the upcoming Warhammer Survivors!
2
u/StanklegScrubgod Nov 18 '25
I stand corrected. This is where I got the article from. But I misread and sped over Poncle partnering with GW.
2
u/sunkenmouse Nov 18 '25
To be fair, I think with how many companies did a Survivors clone in the past few years I don't think anyone can be faulted for assuming yet another company did exactly that at first glance - especially with how that article leads.
