Vampire Survivors developer is "investigating" online multiplayer

Vampire Survivors is one of my all-time favorite games, and it isn't just because of my completely illogical obsession with all things vampire. In fact, it's a running joke within the community that vampires may or may not even exist in-game yet. Poncle's game is actually incredible due to its addictive gameplay and fast-paced combat. While each stage is half an hour long, you'll easily lose hours in-game as you forget what time even is. The indie developer recently sat down for an AMA on Reddit, answering questions and alluding to possible online multiplayer.

Vampire Survivors confirms mysterious Directer's Cut version is coming

Vampire Survivors is one of those roguelike games that I just can't seem to put down. I have hundreds of hours in it and almost all of the achievements. Poncle merged elements from fan-favorite arcade experiences with the now-iconic bullet-hell chaos we all know Vampire Survivors for to create an addictive game with some serious replayability. Despite the endless content it offers, it looks like the indie developer is bringing even more to the game with a mysterious Directer's Cut edition that offers new characters, stages, and more.
