Vampire Survivors developer Poncle has announced an upcoming sequel, Vampire Crawlers, for release in 2026. First released in 2022, Vampire Survivors charmed audiences worldwide with its addictive roguelike gameplay and Castlevania-inspired trappings. With numerous crossovers and DLC releases in the years since, it’s remained a popular diversion ever since.

Revealed as part of the Xbox Partner Preview, Vampire Crawlers is more of a spinoff of Survivors. As its name implies, it brings a dungeon-crawling, deckbuilding spin to the Vampire Survivors setting. Vampire Crawlers is set for a 2026 release, and will be playable on PC, Switch, Xbox, and Playstation consoles, as well as Xbox Cloud. It’s also expected to be a day-one release for Game Pass Premium and Ultimate subscribers.
