Vampire Survivors Provides Update on PlayStation Release

Poncle, the UK-based developer behind the hit roguelike Vampire Survivors, has offered a further update on the game's upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 releases. Following the May release of the latest expansion and update, the studio, which launched Vampire Survivors in December 2021, clarified the PlayStation port timeline.

Initially announced for a Summer 2024 launch, Vampire Survivors' PS4 and PS5 versions remain without a precise release date. Poncle, in recent Twitter posts, attributed the delay to the unfamiliarity of navigating PlayStation's submission process – a first for the indie developer. They're also meticulously crafting the PlayStation Trophies experience, aiming to replicate the success of the game's 200+ Steam achievements. This dedication to a polished trophy system reflects the high standards set by the game's overwhelmingly positive Steam reception.

• Summer 2024

The developer's transparency has been met with gratitude from fans on Twitter, many expressing excitement for the prospect of earning a platinum trophy. This coveted reward, earned by completing all achievements, is highly valued among PlayStation gamers, especially for challenging titles.

The May 9th release of Operation Guns, a DLC inspired by Konami's Contra series, added Contra-themed biomes, 11 characters, 22 automatic weapons, and classic Contra music to the game. A subsequent hotfix, 1.10.105, on May 16th, addressed bugs in both the base game and the new DLC.
