Poncle studio has presented a full-fledged spin-off in the same absurd universe. The developers noted that Vampire Crawlers represents a new genre — a «dungeon crawler with cards». The player chooses one of the Crawlers, heroes with unique abilities from Vampire Survivors, explores dungeons, collects a deck, modifies cards and participates in fast battles.
Poncle founder Luca stated:
You can play slowly and tactically or lay out cards as quickly as possible — the game will always give a logical result, even if there is complete chaos on the screen.
The studio has preserved the spirit of the original: familiar treasure chests, weapon evolutions, rewards after each attempt, characteristic humor and music. Modifying cards can completely change the style of the game — from tactical control to lightning-fast combo explosions.
Vampire Crawlers will be released in 2026 and will be available on Xbox Game Pass Premium and Ultimate at launch.
