Press release -
Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors is OUT NOW
21st April 2026 – poncle are pleased to announce that Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors is here to stake its claim on your free time, and is available now on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, the Epic Games Store and Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
Check out the trailer here:
Brought to you by the triple BAFTA-winning minds behind Vampire Survivors and Nosebleed Interactive, and featuring music from the incomparable Yoko Shimomura, Vampire Crawlers is a dungeon crawling, deck-building roguelike that encourages chaos at every turn. Players will begin their journey in the sleepy village of Gorton, armed with nothing but a deck of cards with which to defend themselves.
By exploring dungeons (and killing the creatures that lie therein), players can upgrade their deck to take on more powerful foes, combo-ing cards to wipe out hordes of enemies.
Master the TurboTurn
- Turn-based combat without the wait. Queue your moves instantly and let the game resolve them at full speed.
Break the Game
- Stack absurd combos, chain triggers, and push your deck beyond what should be usually possible.
Build Your Party
- Combine up to three characters and layer their abilities to create bigger effects, stranger synergies, and runs that escalate quickly.
Hunt for Relics
- Unique treasures that unlock hidden mechanics - use during runs to (quite literally) change the game.
Visit the Fortune Teller
- Step in to the Fortune Teller’s tent at the start of your run - who knows what luck-altering buffs you may find!
For players who’ve already experienced the thrills of Vampire Crawlers through the demo, the full version expands on those systems with more content, along with fixes and improvements made from community feedback.
Vampire Crawlers is priced at £9.99 / $9.99 / €9,99 / YEN 1200, and will also be available on iOS and Android at a later date. To keep up with the Crawler community, follow poncle on X, via the Vampire Crawlers Steam page or join the Vampire community on Discord.

About poncle
poncle is the studio behind Vampire Survivors, founded by Luca Galante. What started as a solo project by Luca Galante during the pandemic has somehow grown since into a wider international team making games built around strong mechanics, fair pricing, replayability, and a general reluctance to waste the player’s time.
After the unexpected success of Vampire Survivors, poncle has continued to grow while sticking to the same basic idea: make games that are accessible, generous, and capable of escalating into complete nonsense when handled correctly.
Alongside its own projects, poncle also works with and supports other developers who share a similar view of games: respect the player, keep the price fair, and make something worth coming back to.
