Vampire Survivors’ huge new update will introduce Adventures mode
Minimalist auto-roguelike Vampire SurvivorsAdventures will receive its biggest update ever in the form of patch 1.8.
In an FAQ from developer Poncle, Adventures represent a remixed version of the game. Vampire SurvivorsParallel to the main game, you can play these “miniature story modes” (or “wacky sidequests”) that reset your arsenal and progress. These scrambled “miniature story modes” (or “wacky sidequests”) reset the player’s arsenal and progress from scratch without overwriting progress in the main game, and challenge players with unique conditions, progression, and win criteria. They’re somewhat akin to starting a seasonal character in an action role-playing game like Diablo 4.
They will also be available in co-op and divided up into sections that will offer different setups for items and characters as well as win conditions. Each chapter will be connected by text about the lore. They’ll be free to any Vampire SurvivorsSome are free, but some require you to pay for DLC.
Poncle says patch 1.8 will add three Adventures — two available from the base game, one linked to DLC — after which it intends to add a new Adventure with every subsequent update or DLC release. Before you can access Adventures, they must be unlocked in the base game.
“The Moonspell Legacy DLC Adventure Showcases Vampire Survivors gameplay with a series of original twists, featuring remixed environments, characters, and weapons,” Poncle says. “One of the Adventures available in the base game will explore how we’re reworking classic content, with a slightly serious storyline and a chance to earn unlocks earlier than normal. The other Adventure will be as absurd as you’d usually expect from Vampire Survivors.”
Poncle has estimated that it’ll take about one hour or so to play the first adventure. That said, there’s a kind of prestige system in place, whereby Adventures can be “ascended” after they’ve been completed, tweaking stats like Luck or Greed to make a subsequent playthrough more rewarding. You can do this indefinitely.
While the progress between Adventures, and the maingame is largely separate, there are some areas where they overlap. Adventures carries over Relics from the Main Game, and the game modes are also carried. Completing an Adventure will reward the player with Coins to be used on the Main Game.
The Adventures update for the original game is a welcome addition. This 1.8 Adventures Update for Vampire Survivors is “coming soon” to all platforms.
