The studio also announced \u201cSurvivaton,\u201d a new label for its growing lineup of\u00a0Survivors-based projects, released a free content update for Vampire Survivors, and officially announced the new Japan studio led by Sawaki Takeyasu first revealed<\/a> in a Weekly Famitsu interview earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Vampire Survivors will be renamed\u00a0Vampire Survivors: First Surivaton as part of the new label\u2019s launch, and a Switch 2 version is currently in production.<\/p>\n

Here are the details:<\/p>\n

\u201cSurvivaton\u201d and Vampire Survivors: First Survivaton<\/p>\n

\u201cSurvivaton\u201d is the name of poncle\u2019s new lineup of Survivors-like projects. Short for \u201csurvive a ton,\u201d the label encompasses internally developed games that build on the foundation of the studio\u2019s flagship title, Vampire Survivors, in collaboration with selected content partners. Each project will aim to introduce major gameplay changes, content expansions, or genre twists exploring ideas substantial enough to stand as their own games.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSurvivaton\u201d initiative will serve as poncle\u2019s umbrella for future survivors-like releases, and reflecting its place as the foundation of the series, Vampire Survivors will also be renamed to Vampire Survivors: First Survivaton.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this new chapter, the game is releasing its free Patch 1.15 update on Steam today, featuring a new stage, new characters, new weapons, and new Darkanas. Patch 1.15 will be released on all other platforms a bit later, by the end of the month, due to platform-specific optimizations and differences in save slots management. On the bright side, we will also be releasing a Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> version, with better performance and mouse support!<\/p>\n
