At the Triple-I Initiative indie showcase, poncle had two big announcements. The first was Vampire Survivors (Free) for PS5 and PS4 due this Summer. I’m excited for that, but only if cross save is included. The highlight announcement for all current Vampire Survivors players, is the Vampire Survivors ‘Operation Guns’ DLC coming on May 9th as a collaboration between Vampire Survivors and Konami’s Contra series. This DLC will add 22 new weapons, 11 new characters, a new stage, new remixed music from Contra, and much more. A new difficulty curve combining Vampire Survivors and arcade-hard gameplay will also be arriving with the DLC. Watch the Vampire Survivors Operation Guns DLC trailer below:

The Vampire Survivors Operation Guns DLC will release on May 9th for iOS, Android, Switch, Steam, and Xbox platforms for $2.49. Check out the full FAQ for the DLC and achievements here. A game update is also due later this month on all platforms. If you’ve not played it yet, read my co-op impressions of the Steam version here and my Nintendo Switch review here for details on the recent updates and versions. You can also read my Steam Deck review of Vampire Survivors from its 1.0 launch here, Legacy of the Moonspell DLC review here, iOS review here, and Tides of the Foscari DLC review here. We featured it as our Game of the Week as well when it launched. You can grab Vampire Survivors on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here.
