Vampire Survivors launched on Steam at the end of 2021 and quickly found a huge audience. Following the release of version 1.0, Developer Poncle Games teased that it will “probably” be starting development on something new. However, support for Vampire Survivors will also continue, at least as long as audiences continue to enjoy it. The developer has teased that “brand new features” are part of the game’s future plans as well as quality-of-life improvements. For now, Vampire Survivors fans will have to wait and see what the team has in store next!
