Vampire Survivors' Patch 1.8 to Include New Adventure Mode in Significant Update

Adventures mode introduces unique challenges, resettable progress, and lore text, adding rich twists to the Vampire Survivors experience in a free update, with some features linked to paid DLC add-ons.

Patch 1.8 for the game Vampire Survivors introduces an 'Adventures' mode, which presents players with miniature story modes or wacky sidequests that don’t overwrite progress in the main game.
The Adventures mode will offer unique conditions, progression, and win criteria, and they’re somewhat akin to starting a seasonal character in action RPG games. These Adventures can be played in co-op mode.
In Adventure mode, progress such as Relics and game modes carry over from the main game, and completing an Adventure rewards players with a cache of coins for the main game.
Three Adventures will be added in patch 1.8—two for the base game and one linked to DLC, and they need to be unlocked within the base game or linked DLC. Poncle plans to add a new Adventure with each subsequent update or DLC release.
Adventures can be 'ascended' after they’ve been completed, altering stats like Luck or Greed to make subsequent playthroughs more rewarding, with no limit on how many times players can ascend an Adventure.
The update is free for all players, though some Adventures are linked to paid DLC add-ons. The Adventures vary in length, with Poncle estimating that the first few will take an hour or two to complete.
