Vampire Survivors News

Vampire Survivors has received another patch, which adds 2 new Arcanas, a new challenge stage called Boss Rash, and a surprise new unlockable character. The new character is called Gyorunton, and is a blue, three-headed and armless dragon, who has a Bracelet as a new starting weapon. Where does it wear the bracelet? I don't want to know.

Contains 4 new achievements and:
- new Challenge stage
- 2 new Arcanas

Important:
- Moved save data folder on Windows to a safer location to avoid Cloud conflicts and issues on Steam Deck. The save files will now be in %APPDATA%/Vampire_Survivors_Data.

Extra (not present on the roadmap):
- 1 new character: Gyorunton. Due to time constraints, this one won't be linked to the usual Unlocks/Achievements. The unlock conditions are "Survive 15 minutes in the new challenge stage, with 1 active weapon only"
- 1 new weapon: Bracelet

Steam Deck save issues
Thanks to everyone who's reporting details together with the new error popup, we're still unable to break the save system on our unit despite meddling with it in any possible way, but we should be able to get more help this week 🤞

I've enjoyed the early access experience of Vampire Survivors, hopping back on every few weeks to check out a new update and do all the new stuff (and make all the new explosions). The roguelikelike survival arcade game has grown a lot, and fast, especially considering it started as a solo project. As it nears version 1.0, the latest big update has added a new final boss to the final level, a flashy battle.
