Vampire Survivor’s next free update drops tomorrow

GOLD-FINGER (he sang in his most Shirley Bassy voice)

Vampire Survivors continues to be the indie gift that keeps on giving. After a stellar debut last year, in which it won Best Game at the British Academy Games Awards and the Destructoid award for Best PC Game, the developer is showing no signs of slowing down support for the game. So far, it’s seen two paid DLC expansions and several free updates. Its next free arrives tomorrow, and it’s packing in some great reason to return to the monster-infested fields of Italy.

Dubbed the “Overwhelming Update,” Vampire Survivors version 1.5 adds new features, new levels, a new game mode, and half a new character. The new stage, Astral Stair, is a near-endless series of corridors featuring flying paintings and a new spinning wheel that’ll trigger random events within the stage. The character Yatta Cavallo is getting a new form in the update, and the new relic GoldFinger will start a limited-time challenge where your character is powerful and invisible for a brief amount of time. If you care about achievements, the update is adding six of those to the game too.

Ignore what it says in the trailer about the update being available now. The Vampire Survivors Overwhelming Update will hit all platforms tomorrow, June 12.
