Yep, Poncle is spreading its wings and right now introduced a spin-off to Vampire Survivors, known as Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors (we’ll persist with Vampire Crawlers…) coming to Swap in 2026. The tongue-in-cheek trailer above tells you it is not a roguelite deckbuilder, however it’s the truth is a roguelite deckbuilding dungeon crawler. Fancy that.
However, in true Vampire Survivors style, it is completely nuts. Basically, as Poncle founder Luca Galante places it on Xbox Wire, Vampire Crawlers is “about mowing down hordes of enemies utilizing playing cards, when you discover dungeons, enjoying as slowly or as quick as you like.”
Galante additionally compares the sport to a “blobber”, a sort of first-person RPG standard within the ’80s that usually used large on-screen buttons; as a substitute of the buttons, Crawlers makes use of playing cards.
Here is a quick little rundown from the sport’s Steam web page:

Don’t be concerned, this is not a direct sequel, and Vampire Survivors will nonetheless be a factor going ahead. However Galante does point out one thing attention-grabbing: “With reference to a sequel to Vampire Survivors, we’re engaged on one thing, however we’re not speaking about that simply but.”
