‘Vampire Survivors’ Coming to Switch With 4-Player Local Co-op August 17th
You’ve asked for it, and now it’s finally happening. During today’s Nintendo Direct, developer Poncle has announced that their hit roguelike Vampire Survivors will finally be making its way to the Nintendo Switch on August 17th. And for fans of couch co-op, you’ll be pleased to know that the Switch version of Vampire Survivors will include 4-player local co-op play.
Details on the port are still to come, but the Switch version of Vampire Survivors will include all of the expansions that have been released over the past year. That includes the free update that was announced last week during the PC Gaming Show.
Vampire Survivors is also available on the Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
And if you’re looking for another game in the same vein as Vampire Survivors (and are a fan of Chris McKay‘s Renfield), keep an eye on Skybound Games’ Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood. While it’s still in Early Access on Steam, it recently had a huge content drop of its own last week.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
