Poncle Reveals Vampire Crawlers, a First-Person Deckbuilding Spin-Off, Coming in 2026 With Day-One Game Pass

The studio is adapting its “one more run” formula to a card-driven dungeon crawler for a broad 2026 release window.

Overview

  • Vampire Crawlers reimagines Vampire Survivors as a first-person, roguelite deckbuilder with dungeon exploration and turn-based card battles.
  • Players build combos by playing cards in ascending mana order, customize decks with upgrade gems, and explore grid-based dungeons between fights.
  • The game features returning characters, weapons, and upgrades from Vampire Survivors, preserving the series’ chaotic synergy and unlocks.
  • Poncle classifies Crawlers as a spin-off rather than a sequel and has hinted a separate sequel is being explored but not detailed.
  • The title targets early to mid 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Switch, PC, iOS, and Android, and will launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, with post-launch plans shaped by community feedback.
