Vampire Survivors adaptation faces a challenge: the game has no plot

Working on an adaptation of a storyless game is no easy task. Developer Poncle shared the challenges of adapting Vampire Survivors.

The developer of Vampire Survivors, which became popular thanks to its simple yet addictive gameplay, admitted that creating a movie based on it is a real challenge.

The project, which was originally conceived as an animated series, will now be a feature film, but the main question remains open: how do you adapt a game where a story is simply non-existent?

“This is a very tricky [task] to get 100% right. Please remember that there is no story in the game — is there? — so nobody can predict what a movie based on it will be like. That is partly what makes [the adaptation] exciting.” — Poncle stated.

Poncle continues to collaborate with the studio Story Kitchen, which was also involved in the creation of the movie “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”, released in Russian theaters on January 16.

The Vampire Survivors adaptation is clearly in the early stages of production — the project does not even have a tentative release date yet.
