An animated TV show based on Vampire Survivors is in the works, with the game’s developer and publisher Luca Galante involved in the project.
The game is a roguelike shooter that takes place in rural Italy, where players have to survive against hordes of monsters until they are killed. The game has been praised and made popular for its simple but addictive gameplay loop, and it was a nominee for Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards.
Deadline revealed that Story Kitchen will make an animated TV show based on Vampire Survivors, with Galante’s participation in the show.
The series is looking for a writer and will pitch to different networks. Galante gave a positive statement about the announcement. Read his statement below:
The most important thing in Vampire Survivors is the story, so it’s a dream come true to see what started as a little indie game I made on my weekends come to life as an animated TV show! It’s also great to be partnering up with such experienced and talented people to make the show. I do wonder if they’ve realized that there isn’t a single vampire in Vampire Survivors, though.
The game’s simple gameplay hides some story elements that could make a good TV show. The game’s villains are monsters summoned by Bisconte Draculó, and the players are heroes who try to survive and stop him. The game also got more heroes in the latest Tides of Foscari DLC, the second add-on for the game so far.
The game’s story is simple, but the game has many characters, monsters, and villains that could make a fun, character-focused TV show. This could make the game richer, as their personalities would be more developed.
The game’s fast gameplay can also help the TV show, becoming the basis for how the fights in the series are animated, like Netflix’s Castlevania anime.
The show has no writer or platform yet, but Vampire Survivors’ gameplay deserves skilled creators for its TV adaptation. With Story Kitchen, co-founded by John Wick’s Derek Kolstad, and Galante working on the project, whoever writes the show will be picked for their skills and love for the game.
The game is very popular now, so the Vampire Survivors TV show might come out before this craze fades.
