In a reveal at Xbox's Partner Preview showcase on Thursday, Vampire Survivors developer Poncle teased what's next for the series with a flashy trailer promising "next-gen graphics, an endless open world, compelling storytelling..." before saying, nah, scratch all that. How about more 2D pixel art, but this time in first person?
"Turbo wildcard" Vampire Crawlers, a spin-off coming next year, reinterprets the characters, enemies and items of Vampire Survivors into a deckbuilding dungeon crawler. "It’s about mowing down hordes of enemies using cards, while you explore dungeons, playing as slowly or as fast as you prefer," Poncle founder Luca told Xbox Wire in an interview ahead of the announcement.
