Vampire Survivors fans have reason to celebrate as the 1.4.0 patch has been released, bringing new content and tweaks to the game. One notable addition is a batch for the Seal powerup, which is tied to an achievement. Additionally, players can look forward to four new music tracks that have been highly requested by the community.
While the patch itself is smaller than previous updates, the developers have explained that this is due to the time and resources spent on the new engine for the PC version of the game. However, they assure players that more content is in the pipeline and will be released over the next few weeks.
In terms of tweaks, the 1.4.0 patch has changed the sound effect of the Night Sword and introduced an optional new engine on the beta branch, which players can access if they choose to. The new engine is available in a private beta for those who want to try it early, and the developers plan to fully implement it once any differences with the base version of the game have been resolved.
Here’s a look at the official patch notes:
New Patch Content
- 1 new batch for the Seal powerup, tied to an achievement
- 4 new music tracks that I won’t spoil, but are very likely what you’ve been asking for very recently!
Tweaks
- changed sound effect of the Night Sword
- optional: new engine on beta branch
Simultaneously, the Tides of the Foscari DLC has been launched, adding even more content to Vampire Survivors. The DLC features a new large stage called Lake Foscari, which presents different enemy spawns in different zones. Players can also expect eight new characters, 13 new weapons and evolutions, seven new music tracks, and 21 new achievements to unlock.
To access the Lake Foscari stage, players need to make sure they have updated their game to at least version 1.4.100. Once this requirement is met, the stage will appear at the bottom of the Stage Selection menu. The developers have included Secret Spells for those who wish to unlock content quickly.
The developers have emphasized their commitment to continuing free updates and content for the main game. The Tides of the Foscari DLC serves as extra content in terms of stages, monsters, weapons, characters, and more. Items, power-ups, and game mechanics will still be added to the base game, ensuring that players who do not purchase the DLC will not miss out on essential features.
Priced at $1.99, the Tides of the Foscari DLC is deemed affordable by the developers, reflecting its production value. They have acknowledged the community’s support and stated that they will charge more for future content when they can offer even better experiences.
Vampire Survivors plans to find a balance between free updates and paid DLCs based on player feedback and preferences. Their primary focus remains delivering content that players enjoy and find valuable, ensuring a fair and engaging gaming experience for all.
