Vampire Survivors Gets First Update of 2023, Patch Notes Revealed

A new update for Vampire Survivors has today been pushed out by developer and publisher Poncle. Over the course of the past year, Vampire Survivors has gone on to be an indie smash-hit on PC and Xbox platforms. Despite having such a basic premise, the game has pulled in a substantially large audience that continues to play the game on a frequent basis. Now, the first update of 2023 for Vampire Survivors has rolled out and adds a bit more content to the game. 

In total, this new Vampire Survivors patch, which is version 1.3.0, brings three new achievements, a new challenge stage, and two new relics to the action title. These new additions to the game don't drastically alter the core experience, but there have been some new features added, specifically when it comes to the character Mortaccio. 

As of this writing, it's also worth noting that Vampire Survivors happens to be on sale via Steam. So if you have been looking to check out this game for yourself, you can now snag it for 20% off of its normal value at a price of $3.99.
