Watch On
At the Future Games Show today, Vampire Survivors creator Luca Galante talked about making more Vampire Survivors spin-offs—noting the success of Vampire Crawlers as a motivator—which he’s calling “Survivatons.”
It’s a “stupid” name that is “short for survive-a-ton,” the masked Poncle head said in the interview. We can expect a Survivaton to be like Vampire Survivors, but with “a different spin on it,” such as a different metagame or a feature that “doesn’t actually fit Vampire Survivors.”
The first Survivaton will be revealed “very soon.”
Galante also revealed Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Blood Moon, a small add-on for the original. It’ll feature “eight-plus characters, eight-plus weapons, plus evolutions,” and will be cheap: around 80 pence (a little over $1 USD), Galante said.
Even as Poncle works on Survivatons, there’ll be more to come for the original Vampire Survivors in the future. “I’m not planning to let go of Vampire Survivors anytime soon,” said the creator.
The genre spawned by Vampire Survivors has a couple of popular names. Steam has settled on “bullet heaven,” though some prefer “survivors-like.” It doesn’t sound like Galante is pitching “Survivaton” as a replacement for either, just the name for official Vampire Survivors spin-offs—but who knows, maybe it’ll catch on and we’ll need another Steam tag.
