Vampire Survivors dev unveils JUJUTSU KAISEN RUMBLE: SURVIVATON

Vampire Survivors developer poncle today revealed JUJUTSU KAISEN RUMBLE: SURVIVATON, an evolution of the genre they kickstarted with battle royale elements. I have to admit, it does sound really interesting, and as a fan of the Anime I'm just going to have to play it.

This is a multiplayer game with a single player-mode included, where you engage in a battle royale against other players and various cursed spirit enemies. As a battle royale, it's all about being the last player standing - overcoming the odds against an onslaught of cursed spirits.

It's launching later this year across Steam and consoles.

From the press release:

■ Earn Points and Overwhelm Your Rivals!
Cut through waves of cursed spirits, rack up points, and keep pace with your rivals as the match grows more intense. Your attacks trigger automatically, so the focus is on movement, positioning, and choosing the right moment to strike back with rule-changing effects.

At 100 points, activate a "Rule Addition" to disrupt your opponents, steal momentum, and climb the rankings.

In the end, the top 2 players face off in a 1v1 duel, where only one will emerge victorious.

■ A roster of 20+ characters from JUJUTSU KAISEN!
Play as 20+ characters from the world of JUJUTSU KAISEN, each with their own skills and playstyle.

Unlock new fighters by meeting specific conditions, experiment with different strengths, and find the character that fits your approach.

Powerful BOSSES can also appear mid-battle, turning the match into an even more chaotic clash of Jujutsu Sorcerers, Curse Users, and Cursed Spirits.

■ Overwhelm Your Rivals with Unique Special Moves
Fill your gauge through battle, then unleash a powerful special move at the perfect moment.
Activate techniques iconic to JUJUTSU KAISEN — from Domain Expansion to Black Flash and beyond. These powerful moves can turn the tide of a match in an instant. Most special moves can also affect nearby rivals — and while a special move is active, any player caught in range can be directly targeted for attacks. Wait for your perfect window and unleash everything upon your foes.

■ Every Choice is Yours. Skills That Change with Every Run.
Collect EXP from defeated cursed spirits and level up throughout the match.

Each level gives you new skill options to shape your build on the fly: strengthen what you already have, add new abilities, and discover powerful synergies that can carry you to victory.
