Vampire Crawlers is set to release for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC, and all mobile devices in 2026.
Poncle Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed "bullet heaven" game Vampire Survivors, has announced its next project: Vampire Crawlers. Set in the same world as Survivors, this "Turbo Wildcard," as Poncle describes it, reimagines its predecessor as a deckbuilding dungeon-crawler with roguelite elements. Crawlers is slated to release next year.
Announced as part of November's Xbox Showcase, Vampire Crawlers marks a significant departure from the simplistic gameplay of Survivors, adding increased depth and strategy via its strong focus on deckbuilding while still retaining a similar visual style and a penchant for chaos. Other notable features include the village, which serves as a central hub for your Survivors, as well as a shift to a 2.5D perspective.

"Build busted decks, explore familiar dungeons from a new perspective, and unleash world‑ending combos," Poncle wrote in Crawler's official press release. "Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: the outcome is always accurate."
Vampire Crawlers is set to release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile in 2026. Poncle also confirmed that the game will be coming to Xbox Game Pass day one.
