Small patch coming in May
Now that the second DLC Tides of the Foscari is out (big thanks to everyone who played it and gave us feedback!), we wanted to give an update on what free patches and updates we are working on and some other news!
The first part is that we are working on a smaller patch that should launch in May (will have smaller additions and fixes, like a more detailed map for DLC stages) and we are also working on our next bigger patch, v1.5, which will be similar in size to the Bat Country update (new stage, relics etc.).
While we don’t have a firm date for this v1.5 patch yet, we are aiming for sometime this summer to give the team a bit more time after the busy DLC launch period. As always, we will try something a bit different with this patch!
Animated show coming!
The other Vampire Survivors news we wanted to share is that we are working on an animated series! If you had told me this a year ago, I wouldn't have believed you. I still don't believe you, but it's actually happening.
Because we're a small company and barely have any idea about how to make games, not to mention TV shows, we are partnering up with a company called Story Kitchen (their team includes Derek Kolstad, who is the writer/creator of John Wick, and Dmitri M. Johnson, who produced the Sonic films) to make the Vampire Survivors show.
As we all know, the most important thing in Vampire Survivors has always been the story, so we are very excited for this and we hope you are too! It’s still early days for the show, but I can already say that we will be involved so that we can ensure it doesn’t have any vampires (probably) and they will only cast the finest garlic. While we will be involved, this won't affect game development in any way.
Thanks to everyone who's been asking for this since the Moonspell trailer: sometimes bombarding the socials with requests actually works! :)
