Developer Poncle has unleashed the Vampire Survivors 1.14 update, one of the biggest content drops in the game’s history. Known for its mix of retro chaos and roguelike depth, this latest update introduces massive new DLC content for the Ode to Castlevania expansion. And in true Vampire Survivors fashion, the update announcement didn’t stop with a single cinematic trailer. Instead, we got two more tongue-in-cheek videos that perfectly capture the game’s offbeat humor. One riffs on ‘90s local TV ads, complete with over-the-top announcer energy, while the other features… cheese? The trailers as a reminder that while Vampire Survivors may look simple, its sense of fun is unmatched.
Update 1.14 brings major additions to the Ode to Castlevania DLC, turning what was already a loving homage into a full-blown expansion. Sixteen new secret characters, each packed with Easter eggs and references to Castlevania lore, join the fight, alongside three new weapons (and their evolutions) plus 13 new weapon unions. The DLC also includes a new adventure mode chapter and 12 new tracks of gothic-inspired music, ensuring the Belmont family’s legacy continues in the quirkiest way possible.
There are also over 15 new achievements, new morph abilities (including Bianca Ramba’s morph), and a “Party Mode” that dials the chaos up to 11 for those who want to test their reflexes.
Poncle has made a habit of giving Vampire Survivors fans more than they ever expected, and Update 1.14 is proof that the game’s post-launch support isn’t slowing down. With full cross-save availability on PC, consoles, and mobile, and a thriving player base that continues to grow thanks to free updates and cheeky marketing, Vampire Survivors remains one of the best examples of indie success built on community passion.
So grab your garlic, call up your friends, and dive back in. The night may be eternal, but so is Vampire Survivors’ replay value. Vampire Survivors 1.14 is available now on PC (30% off on Steam), PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile.
