Developer poncle has released a brand new gameplay trailer for recently announced follow up to Vampire Survivors, called Vampire Crawlers.
The team says it’s the first spinoff for Vampire Survivors, and it’s coming in 2026. The trailer simply adds: “Here’s a gameplay snippet of what you can expect in Vampire Crawlers! There’s many familiar faces, places, items and more… but maybe you can spot some new things 🤔”.
Check out the gameplay below:
“Vampire Crawlers turns the snowballing thrill of Vampire Survivors into a turbo turn‑based, card‑driven BLOBBER with rogue-lite elements”, adds poncle, saying: “Coming in 2026 (or whenever we think it’s ready)”.
Speaking in a Steam blog post, poncle explains: “This should let you see what is at the core of Vampire Crawlers: have fun playing satisfying abilities in turbo turn-based battles, at whatever speed you prefer.
In the following weeks we’ll also talk about all other gameplay features. From basic stuff, like why and how we are moving in dungeon floors instead of menus, to how easily, but also deeply, we can customise cards and abilities. Please know that beyond this facade of casual approach to the genre, people who are into min/maxing and total optimization will actually be able to dramatically customise the RNG!
But enough spoilers, let’s start unwrapping the features of Vampire Crawlers starting with some unedited gameplay footage (alpha footage subject to change in the final version; mouse cursor not included”.
From the somehow triple-BAFTA‑winning creators of Vampire Survivors, Vampire Crawlers: the turbo wildcard from Vampire Survivors turns the snowballing thrill of Vampire Survivors into a turbo turn‑based, card‑driven BLOBBER with rogue-lite elements. Build busted decks, explore familiar dungeons from a new perspective, and unleash world‑ending combos. Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: the outcome is always accurate!
Vampire Crawlers is coming in 2026 to PC via Steam.
