Vampire Survivors just keeps on giving with a free Balatro DLC, online co-op and more free content

Vampire Survivors just dropped a massive content update that includes a free Balatro crossover DLC, online co-op is live and more added. Just when you think you're done, they pull you back in for another bunch of hours. Please won't somebody think of my free time.

The Balatro crossover includes 4 new characters, 4 new weapons and evolutions, a new music track and the special Ante Chamber: "Enter the Ante Chamber, an extradimensional analogue of Balatro's user interface. Battle buffoonish foes on a facsimile of Jimbo's home turf accompanied by a new ally, the Outer Saboteur, a silly little sidekick that steals your coins to throw them at enemies".

Not enough for you?

Okay, well there's also online co-op now available for everyone. That, and the 1.14 update which includes:

• A gamba themed stage: Westwoods
• A labyrinth themed stage: Mazerella
• A new relic that lets you play Party Mode (play with up to 4 characters at the same time)
• 2 new playable characters
• 2 new weapons with their respective evolutions
• 1 new Character Morph
• 1 new PowerUp
• 3 new Darkanas
• Survarot game mechanic

What are Survarots?
Survarots are a new form of power creep that is currently usable by the character Secretino and all the Ante Chamber characters. They are vaguely similar to Arcana cards, but are themed after characters from Vampire Survivors and provide different types of bonuses.

But wait, there's actually more. The Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania expansion also had an upgrade to bring 16 new secret characters, 3 new weapons, 13 new weapon unions, 1 new adventure and 12 new music tracks.

Oh, also the board game Kickstarter is now live too.

They've said the next update will likely now be in Q1 2026. With a focus on "QOL improvements to better manage the avalanche of available content and the late-game on-screen chaos, performance improvements for less powerful platforms, save slots (finally), and of course a bit more content".
