According to the post, the studio just hasn’t had time to bring the PC version of Vampire Survivors up to the new game engine. The console and mobile versions, on the other hand, are largely running on the new engine. The post points out the challenges of transitioning the game to a new engine considering its success on the Steam Deck. Thanks to this and various other aspects of the game, Vampire Survivors on PC will move away from its current engine until “at some point next year”.

The studio has also revealed that it is working on “a lot of stuff, not exclusively related to Vampire Survivors” behind the scenes. It also promises that “something weird and big (in terms of pixels)” will be coming to the Steam public beta of the game.

“DLCs will always be purely extra content in terms of Stages, Monsters, Weapons, Characters etc. Items, Power-ups, game mechanics and more will continue to be added to the base game, so if you don’t pick up the DLC you don’t have to fear missing out.” Updates like the recent Tiny Bridge, which added a new strange, will continue to arrive.

They also revealed that Legacy of the Moonspell will be coming to iOS and Android nearly next year as “we figure out how to make it available in a fair way.” As for why the DLC is only $1.99, poncle said that the price felt right, reflecting its production value.

“The community is, as usual, very kind, and we get a lot of this type of comments, some intended just as a compliment, some serious. While I’m very grateful for the sentiment, just like for the main game, the DLC has a price that ‘feels right’ to me and reflects its production value.

“For the past few months and the DLC, we had amazing artists like Glauber Kotaki and Pitavant for the new graphics; Daniele Zandara and his new bangers with live recordings; that little surprise in the DLC trailer; and a whole company to sustain to be able to launch on all current platforms. Yet poncle still needs time (and key people!) to provide a higher production value.

“”For the DLC I still had to fill some gaps by using asset packs for example, so a low price, and frequent discounts, simply seem fair.” That being said, when the developer has something “even better to offer,” you can expect them to charge more.

Vampire Survivors is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, iOS, and Android. It’s also playable on Game Pass. Stay tuned for more details on future updates and paid content in the coming months.

Mt. Moonspell is infested with yokai and oni, and in addition to learning of the Moonspell clan’s downfall, players may gain clues to the vampire’s location. The new characters include Miang Moonspell, who acts like the protagonist of a shounen anime; Menya Moonspell, who possess powerful mystical abilities; and more. Among the new weapons are the Silver Wind staff, Summon Night, Mirage Robe, and more.

As for the stage itself, it offers a variety of environments to explore, from an abandoned castle to an imposing mountain. A village infested by yokai is in the south, while a solitary lake lies to the northeast. There’s plenty to explore and see when your screen isn’t covered in enemies and projectiles.

Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Moonspell retails for $1.99. Stay tuned for more details on future updates and DLC for the title.

The DLC adds a new stage, Mt. Moonspell, where the Moonspell clan faced their end and where yokai and oni are rampant. It’s the game’s biggest stage, with multiple environments like a snow-covered mountain, a village full of yokai, and an abandoned castle.

Eight new characters are also being added, including Miang Moonspell, the clan’s last disciple; Menya Moonspell, a Moonspell elder with powerful abilities; Syuuto Moonspell, banished for using new moon dark magic; and more. The 13 new weapons include the Silver Wind staff, Four Seasons orbs, Summon Night, Mirage Robe, and more. If that weren’t enough, six new music tracks are also included.
