Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns DLC is coming to Steam on May 9th

Today we are announcing Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns, our second collab DLC, made in collaboration with the KONAMI's Contra team! You might have noticed a couple of very obscure hints in Vampire Survivors about how much we admire and remember fondly playing all the iconic game series sparked by KONAMI over the years, which is why when we got the opportunity to work with their Contra team we took it immediately! It's been surreal and a lot of fun to retrieve old memories of playing Contra with randos at the arcade, or with friends on a home console, and reinterpret them in a Vampire Survivors sauce. In fact we got a bit carried away and added more content to the DLC pack than initially planned, trying to pick & mix some of the old and some of the new, some of the obvious and some of the unexpected. This was yet another dream come true for many in our team, so thank you all for your continued support and making this a reality! Will the agents of the Contra Force resist the urge to join the Vampire Survivors in their doomed search for a vampire? [spoiler]No.[/spoiler]



Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns content


We started with the usual number of characters and weapons in mind when developing this content pack, but it's been very difficult to work with such constraints when dealing with such an iconic series like Contra. So we did the only logical thing, make more:
  • 11 gun-slinging characters
  • 22 new weapons between base versions and evolutions. They're not all guns - some of them trigger explosions too!
  • 1 large stage and 1 bonus stage
  • 13 music tracks directly from the Contra series and 6 brand new covers
  • An explosively silly 6-chapters Adventure

Releasing May 9th - $2.49 / 2.49 / 1.99

What gameplay to expect from the DLC


As usual the DLC will add a new stage in Stage Selection, from where you'll be able to start the chain of unlocks to get the new characters and weapons. Most characters will offer cross-stats benefits for players who like min-maxing, and will be able to find special pickups typical of the Contra series, like Grenades or RapidFires. Most weapons will have a damage output slightly lower than usual to try paying a little homage to the historically high difficulty of the Contra series, but also there will be a lot Arcana interactions to customise the difficulty to your liking. In the same spirit, there are several weapons that require some aiming or that follow the typical arcade 8-angle constraints when firing. While we like to joke about the concept of just adding a ton of guns, actually there will also be melee weapons and most of the new projectiles are rather unusual. Finally, yes, the silly racing-stage seen in the trailer is real and will be playable!

PlayStation


We're finally in a position to make an unsurprising announcement about Vampire Survivors coming to PlayStation, in a time interval vaguely defined as Summer 2024! We're doing the ports ourselves just like the others, so we took our sweet time to get here, but in this way we can keep the low price and the parity of content, so it's better in the long term. We're doing a port for PS4 and another for PS5. We can't make any promises yet, but hopefully we'll have cross-save publicly available by then too. [previewyoutube=4gOBMLXgjVw;full][/previewyoutube]

FAQs


Will the main game still receive free updates? Yes, we're doing free content updates as usual. In fact there will be one happening around the end of the month! [spoiler](it will be available on the public-beta branch on Steam in minutes )[/spoiler] 22 new weapons and evolutions?! My level-up pool! We're adding one more Seal power-up in the next free content patch, so don't worry, you'll still be able to easily manipulate the level-up pool. More DLC FAQS While most of the contents of the DLCs are straightforward, being a collab there are some differences. For example, there are no Steam achievements and the 6 music covers won't be available in the Soundtrack on Steam, so please read the FAQs here for more info: https://poncle.games/operation-guns

    Starting Tips

    • Take your time to grab gems and items, they won't disappear.
    • Get two or three offensive weapons at first, but focus on leveling them up one at a time.
