Vampire Survivors is no stranger to crossovers, with multiple franchise tie-ins taking place since it launched in 2022. However, the latest crossover might be one of the most exciting as it brings one of Konami’s most iconic franchises to the game: Contra.
Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns is an intense new expansion that is sure to shake up the game’s core gameplay thanks to the class and build-focused characters with various new weapons to choose from and a steep difficulty curve.
Here is what we know and when you can play it.
When does Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns Release?
Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns is set to release on May 9, 2024, on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The DLC will be available to purchase upon release and come to PS5 and PS4 in Summer 2024 when the full game releases on Sony’s platforms.
Operation Guns was revealed at the Triple-I Initiative Showcase on April 10, 2024, with an action-packed trailer teasing the new characters and weapons.
Described by Poncle as a DLC that “embraces the visceral simplicity of classic Contra” the DLC will focus on characters that encourage min-maxing and stat manipulation to ensure survival, as mentioned above.
This will allow for a much greater difficulty curve that stays true to what everyone loves about Vampire Survivors, but mixes in the nail-biting arcade gameplay the series is known for.
The DLC will also have 20 weapons to choose from to take down your enemies and ensure survival.
Chances are we will see more from the DLC ahead of the release on May 9, so be sure to keep coming back for the latest news, as we update this article.
Since the game was released, Vampire Survivors has been received with critical acclaim and commercial success becoming an addiction for many. Operation Guns is likely to hook veteran players all over again and bring in Contra fans so they can see what people love about the game.
