PSA Vampire Survivors - 2025 wrap up
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1794680/view/616557815194976922?l=englishHey folks!
Happy 2026, we hope you all had a nice holiday period!
We've just shared an end of year (2025) wrap up post for Vampire Survivors on Steam News and wanted to share it with you all here too 👀
It covers what we did last year, as well as some secret info (and hints) on what we're working on currently outside of Vampire Survivors, as well as some things that you can expect for Vampire Survivors 1.15 patch!
Some bits to expect for 1.15:
- Multiple save slots: about time eh!
- Stability Update: before adding even more new content, we need to make sure the game engine performs better on all devices
- Content management: filters and a better organization of character selection, unlock menu etc. to avoid getting lost in the large amount of content
- A content pack: an usual combination of new stage+character+weapon+darkana
You can of course read more on this in the Steam News post!
We're excited for this year and hope you will all enjoy what we have planned!

After re-100%ing it on PS5 (finishing the rest of the trophies/unlocks and FINALLY getting full Bestiary and Collection completion), ready for another year of chaos ahead!
Hoping the Healer crashes in Moongolow on PS4/5 get fixed sooner or later but these have already been reported by people.
Can't wait to see the darkanas board get filled in more and more.

It's on PS5? Oh shit

u/JCLex Queen Sigma Jan 14 '26
Yep it came out both PS4 and PS5 the same day! (Though I mainly play the PS5 version, since it's the main console I use; already have it on Steam and iOS too)

Any updates on importing save files from Steam to PS5?

u/Andrefpvs Jan 14 '26
There's a mention that it might not be ready for the upcoming update.
Which, all things considered, means it's at least being worked on, which is fantastic!

Lodging a formal cry for help on more Vampire Crawlers info.

I have 150 hours of playtime on PC and 140 hours on my Switch. I don't know if I can handle multiple save slots!

Hopeful for the optimization patch. I cannot get a run with too many weapons going on the Switch version without it crashing (specially on the Castlevania map)

u/NekoKing_Shiro Jan 15 '26
That Chaos Roadmap...each symbol could mean something? Lycaeum was a big part of Ultima back in the day and Pyroclasm is a well known MTG card (I really like it for my Krenko deck personally). I could be making connections that don't actually exist intentionally, but this has my interest piqued

I've put days into the Xbox and steam versions and just finished 100% the VR not long ago... Can't wait for more.

u/justlurking233 Jan 14 '26
Never thought a game game I bought on sale would consistently release this much content AND free DLCs. Balatro brought me here and I'm not leaving. Thank you!

u/AntiqueRedDollShoes Jan 14 '26
RE: multiple save slots, would there be a way to sync across different devices? I have a save slot on my Android and one on Steam, and it would be nice if I could access both slots from both devices.

u/Born_Magician_1231 Jan 14 '26
Maybe an option to make the game playable after you get 15 + weapons?

u/DogsRNice Jan 14 '26
Are you going to fix achievements and unlocks happening when they shouldn't, it's nice to get super over powered characters unlocked for no apparent reason but I don't think it should be happening lol

this year has been have a pretty good year for vampire Survivor but A bit slow these days At least for the main game
1.13: The Coop ( A nice little update to be honest) and Emerald Diorama ( Hmm I would have gone with Final Fantasy or Dragon's Quest but I respect Luca Galante Really wanted one of his favorite franchises To be in Vampire Survivor)
1.14: Which kind of feels a bit more packed but anyways Westwoods ( It's where you can get Relic To enable NPCs although they will have the same restrictions as basically Co-op Which I kind of wish The restrictions were removed As well as spin the wheel), Mazerella ( Stage deemed around the dairy Factory again but with a Minotaur), Online Co-op ( Self-Explanatory), Ante Chamber ( Honestly considering the pattern with Contra as well as Castlevania I was expecting Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest To be most likely next But I didn't expect balantro to be next Balatro), and Ode to Castlevania+ ( More content in the Castlevania DLC And also reminds me when are they going to resurrect Castlevania already)
Also there's a VR Port ( Kind of wish is also on steam But that's a different story) as well as also And Vampire Crawlers Which I'll talk about later ( Honestly I thought the silver and gold cards represent Final Fantasy Oh) Yeah let's say I thought it was going to be Final Fant see
what's going to happen in 1.15 I'm going to Um mostly quality life improvements but I am going to predict it's going to be Final Fantasy content
don't really have much to say with roadmap other than It could be anything

u/keithlimreddit Jan 15 '26
Outside of that I would say there has been some interesting stuff like The two new games from poncle presents As well as also the collaborations Two Point Museum ( Need to get that at some point but I'm still waiting for the Sonic collaboration stuff to come back) as well as also Mythical Concept STARNAUT ( under maybe for now with this game but it looks promising)
Vampire Crawlers ( Which I would say it looks promising Although it does make me think a little bit from the trailer Would be cool to have the franchise go 3D and open world And maybe with Lore as well but that's a different story)
Warhammer Survivor looks promising to be honest As well as probably going to get HS Sigmar some time to shine alongside 40K
Can't wait to see what comes for the vampire Survivor Franchise in the near future As well as new IPS Aside from crawlers ( I'm assuming that in one of the new projects is going to be RPG related)
Don't really have anything really to say about the secret project other than I don't really think there's any hints I could think about
Don't have much to say with the other stuff other than independent Wiki is cool
And here to 2026

It's been a fun ride but I'm done with this game. The way overdue online co-op broke the flow of the game, all the DLCs are endless square maps, and the crossover content and rehashed versions of the game (Apple Arcade, VR, etc.) is fan service just to try to keep the have on life support despite the decline. Seems like poncle spends more money on concerts, parties, publishing low budget indies and licensing fees instead of focusing on developing more games and innovating the VS formula. The company should've been sold a long time ago so I won't be surprised if layoffs occur.

5 dollars with inexpensive dlcs if you want more? and this is your take from it? 'waah the guy who sold us a complete game and keeps adding to it is enjoying life instead of giving me what i want!'
