Vampire Survivors is about to take your butt to school

A fighter, a mage, and a thief walk into a forest…

Vampire Survivors is one of my favorite games of 2022 and it’s pretty hard for me to explain why. It’s the type of game everyone needs to play for themself to see if they vibe with it. Some people won’t, others definitely do, and this bit of news is for the latter group. Today, the developers at poncle announced new paid DLC for the indie darling is coming in about two weeks. Vampire Survivors: Tides of the Foscari includes the new forest map, Lake Foscari, which is home to the Foscari Academy where parents send their kids to be wizards, warriors, and spies. Lake Foscari is described as a “continent-size forest” which the developers say will contain multiple biomes, similar to the map from the Legacy of the Moonspell DLC.

The DLC will also add eight new characters to Vampire Survivor as well as 13 new weapons and seven new music tracks. If the kazoo in the trailer is giving you PTSD flashbacks to the very worst of the Yoshi franchise, know that it’s only for the trailer and not representative of what you’ll hear in the new songs.

As with the last bit of DLC for the game, Tides of the Foscari will only set players back $1.99 when it releases on April 13, 2023.
