Vampire Crawlers hits iOS and Android with free Death Parade update; next content patches slip to 2027

Vampire Crawlers, the card-driven dungeon crawler spun off from Vampire Survivors, can now be played on phones. In a Steam announcement on October 12 (UTC), the developers said the game has arrived on iOS and Android, released the free Death Parade update across all versions, and moved its two remaining content patches to early 2027.

Mobile launch

The iOS and Android releases bring the game to six platforms in total: Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android. The post points players to a mobile FAQ for pricing, controls and save details rather than listing them in the announcement.

What Death Parade adds

The update is free. According to the post, it includes:

• 1 new stage and 3 new dungeons
• 2 new Crawlers
• 2 new weapons, plus 1 evolution and 1 utility card
• 4 new Gems
• 4 new Arcanas
• 2 new Relics

The new Relics can be switched on or off once unlocked, and the rest of the new content works either way. The new Gems also fit existing cards. New dungeons such as Moongolow and Moongohigh are post-game content, reached by exploring the world map after the final boss. Death Parade adds unlocks but no new Steam achievements.

The developers warned that, because of how save data is upgraded, anyone who was in the middle of a dungeon will be sent back to The Village.

Highlights from the patch notes include Turkish and Ukrainian language support; a Luck-based chance of extra bounces for Bone, Cherry Bomb and Heaven Sword; a hand-sorting toggle that stays set between turns and fights; no draw delay while hovering over a card; refreshed Arcana art and Reaper sprites; and a fix on PC for the Blacksmith not saving when the Shop was closed with Escape. The full notes also cover clearer animations and card text, among other bug fixes and polish.

Soundtrack

The Vampire Crawlers soundtrack is now on Spotify, and two new tracks have been added to it: “Barely Staying Alive - Crawling” and “Barely Staying Alive - Turbo”. According to the post, Filippo Vicarelli wrote both pieces and Daniele Zandara handled the arrangements.

Content patches delayed

The two other content patches that had been planned are now due early next year. The team said Death Parade went through several rounds of iteration to meet its own quality bar, and that the game’s framework turned out not to be ready for new content at the pace it had expected. Quality-of-life patches will continue through 2026, a beta branch for early feedback is planned, and an updated roadmap is promised in the coming months.

What we don’t know yet

The announcement gives no mobile price (it defers to the FAQ) and no exact dates for the two delayed patches beyond early 2027.
