Vampire Survivors Is Getting a Huge DLC Celebrating Castlevania

Vampire Survivors has announced its third collaboration DLC and it’s a big one. Ode to Castlevania launches on October 31 for $3.99, adding over 20 new characters, more than 40 new weapons (including base versions and evolutions), one large stage, and over 30 music covers. When the DLC launches, it will add a new stage in Stage Selection, where players can begin unlocking the new characters and weapons. This is the game’s largest stage yet, featuring multiple biomes and new special icons to assist players in navigating it.

As for the DLC’s new weapons, the team at Poncle worked to reference, reinterpret, remix, and convert weapons of the Castlevania series. There will also be themed Weapon Selectors, so all characters are flexible, meaning they aren’t stuck using their default weapon. For now, there isn’t an Adventure for the DLC, but the team said it may add one in the future if it gets the chance.

In addition to revealing Ode to Castlevania, Poncle confirmed patch 1.12 that will bring quality-of-life improvements to everyone. More details will be announced on release day, but some of the major features include advanced music selection, mega seal (the ability to seal an entire content pack from the collection menu), zoom on the map, an Arcana effect reminder in the pause menu, new passives in preview mode, and memory usage improvements so other platforms can better sustain certain end-game builds.
