The fun isn’t slowing down in 2026. February brought Mewgenics, March delivered Slay the Spire 2, and now it looks like we’ll be sinking our teeth into Vampire Crawlers this April.

Developer poncle shared with us in a press release that the game will be arriving on Nintendo Switch consoles, PC, PS5, Xbox Series on April 21st, as well as arriving day one on Xbox Game Pass. The price has also been confirmed to be £9.99 / $9.99 / EUR9,99 / YEN 1200.

A deckbuilding, dungeon-crawling spin-off to the hugely influential Vampire Survivors, Crawlers allows players to explore the universe from a completely new perspective. Players can build busted decks, explore familiar dungeons, and unleash world‑ending combos.

Vampire Crawlers proved to be a big hit during last month’s Steam Next Fest and became the fifth most played demo for the entire event, outperforming Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Pragmata.

Looking ahead, there’s an upcoming video series that’s about to kick off. It’s called Let’s Break Vampire Crawlers, and according to poncle (and they should know), it “will recap the greatest hits of the demo for those who missed out the first time around.”

This enlightening series will show off some of the best player-submitted moments from the aforementioned Next Fest demo, starting on March 21st. Before that, you can check out the release date reveal trailer below:
