The game that started off a sudden craze and lots of clones, Vampire Survivors 1.6 is out now adding in local co-op along with moving over to the Unity game engine.
Thanks to the move to Unity, the performance on Steam Deck is many times better too making it an actually Verified experience.
Just don’t expect lots of little updates like before, since it’s a much larger game project now.
They said larger features were getting “borderline impossible” to develop with their old game engine.
That’s something we’ve been doing in most events (since TGS 2022): hiding some of the future content for the game in plain sight, but this time it blew up online!
While the actual menu screen might never appear in game, all the new content shown in that version is scheduled to be fully developed and released in future free updates.
So here’s a sneak peak of a handful among the dozens of characters and weapons that are getting developed for 2023 and beyond:
