April 21 is the day fans of *Vampire Survivors* can finally get their hands on *Vampire Crawlers*, the first-person deckbuilding roguelike spinoff. This $10 title lands simultaneously on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, with Xbox Game Pass availability on launch day. The game, developed by Poncle with support from Nosebleed Interactive, transports players into the same dark universe but shifts the perspective to first-person action.

Instead of automatic weapon firing, combat revolves around strategically playing cards, each with a mana cost, allowing for dynamic stat boosts and attacks. Players can also modify cards and evolve weapons for deeper customization. While a mobile release is confirmed for later this year, the full PC and console version is firmly set for April 21.

This marks Poncle's first major *Vampire Survivors* spinoff, with a licensed Warhammer-themed version also in development. Early impressions from a demo were positive, hinting at a potentially addictive experience for fans of deckbuilding and dungeon crawlers.
