Hello Hunters,
The time is almost here! In just one week, we’ll be launching our first major content update since the 1.0 release, and we couldn't be more excited for you to jump back into Vampire Hunters!
We've been listening closely to your feedback, and this update is built around what you asked for the most. You'll be able to play in three new stages, each offering unique challenges and countless new strategies to try out!
Speaking of strategies, this update also introduces a ton of new constellations for you to mix and match, giving you even more ways to shape Vampire Hunters the way you want!
That’s not all: there are powerful new relics to help you push your runs even further. Your favorite characters have also received new signature relics that make them absolutely unstoppable.
And of course, with new content come new achievements! We had a blast designing (and unlocking!) them, and we’re sure you will too.
As always, a major content update also means a new leaderboard season, your chance to rise to the top and claim the spotlight! On top of all that, we’ve packed in tons of improvements, balancing changes, and quality-of-life tweaks. You can find the full list below.
We can’t wait to see you all on August 14th at 7AM PST. Have fun with the new content!
Changelog:
New Bonus Maps:
Barrowdeep:
Once a prison carved to contain the undead, this cursed hollow now burns with green fire. The forgotten Rune has been exposed, and their spirits rise to reclaim it.

Legends say a warrior once broke time training here. Now, the place is haunted by the fury of his unfinished technique.

Auto Accept Boss Chest Reward - you can turn this on/off in the settings menu.
