What happens when the biggest indie game of 2020 meets the biggest indie game of 2022? We’ll find out soon enough, as Among Us is headed to Vampire Survivors in a piece of DLC titled Emergency Meeting.

No matter which indie game you look at, Among Us seems to be everywhere, as the violent beans are now making their way to Vampire Survivors.
It's no secret that Vampire Survivors was one of 2022's best games, and the last year has just seen improvement after improvement, like the new free story mode. Yesterday, during Day of the Devs' Game Awards stream, developer poncle announced its next bit of DLC, and it's a bit of a doozy: aptly titled Emergency Meeting, this next bit of paid content for the unique bullet hell game features the tiny, funny cast of Among Us. You'll have nine "totally trustworthy new characters" to choose from, which are basically just different coloured Among Us beans, and there'll be 15 new weapons too. You can check out the amazingly animated reveal trailer below!
Each Among Us character has unique abilities, like Ghost Lino who can float through walls, and can't receive damage, though apparently can't deal damage either, and Guardian Pina, who boosts the defence of all nearby allies. Weapons wise, there's the Report! weapon which blasts enemies away with "supermassive sound waves," and you can "drop duplicitous foes to their doom with Just Vent."

Vampire Survivors is expanding once again, as developer Poncle reveals the arcade-style game's upcoming downloadable content. Coming as a surprise crossover with multiplayer social deduction game Among Us, the DLC will launch you into space to play as one of the iconic bean-shaped Crewmates.
