Hi, Xbox Wire! You might have already seen it, the vampire’s out of the coffin (the equivalent of “the cat’s out of the bag” for those fluent in Vampire Survivors): Our game is getting a 4-player couch co-op mode on August 17! In a free update! Be the bullet hell with your besties!
In today’s post, we wanted to explain in more detail how the co-op mode will work, why we’re adding it to the game, and some new details of what you can expect when the co-op update hits.
Let’s start with what the co-op update will look like. Imagine this: A dog, a tree, and an old man smelling of garlic and death itself meet in a dairy plant. And they turn the whole screen into a wild bullet hell! What sounds like a joke will soon just be a normal stage in Vampire Survivors – well, normal for Vampire Survivors standards, and hopefully fun to play!
With the co-op update, you can continue your save file and add additional co-op players on the character select screen before starting a level. Have up to 3 local friends join you and play the whole Vampire Survivors saga, including all characters, weapons, updates, DLCs, achievements, and more. Basically, the whole game gets a fully optional local co-op mode!
Now that the basics are out of the way, here are a few more detailed gameplay insights into the couch co-op mode for readers familiar with the game:
There is also a new item:
Lastly, we want to answer the question of why we’re adding the co-op mode to begin with. The answer is surprisingly simple: We named the game Vampire Survivors but felt a bit awkward that it’s a game for only one Vampire Survivor; with co-op, we can finally honour the ‘s’ at the end of Vampire Survivors!
On a more serious note: co-op was a frequently requested community feature and high up on our list of things to try out, mostly because we think it’s super fun! Some of our favourite games are local co-op games. We think games you play on a sofa with your friends can make for the best gaming memories, so we wanted to make it work despite any challenges that would arise (and rise up, like a vampire in the night, they did)!
In turning a single-player experience to a couch co-op one, we had a lot of gameplay questions to answer, so we hope you feel we’ve picked the right conclusions and that you enjoy the new mode! We’re always listening to feedback from the community, so find us on Twitter or Discord and let us know your thoughts. We’ve already heard a lot of players asking for an online mode, but that’s an order of magnitude or two more complicated to make right now. Maybe we’ll look into it when we have more time. Or maybe we are already?
There are still a few things we’ve not spoken about that you can uncover when the co-op update launches on 17th August. But we can already tell you that there might be a few ways to get a little revenge on your friends (it’s called co-op mode, but we are never against some friendly trolling).
Vampire Survivors is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC (with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass) today. Couch Co-op arrives on August 17 as a free patch.
