Vampire Survivors Studio Poncle Plans 15+ Games, Opens Japan and Italy Offices

The push channels the hit’s success into small teams, new IP, plus a shared engine for licensed spin-offs.

Overview

  • Poncle says it has more than 15 projects in development after Vampire Survivors reached 27 million players.
  • The UK studio is opening offices in Japan and Italy to work with local partners and tap regional talent.
  • The slate spans spin-offs like the new deck-builder Vampire Crawlers, original games, and licensed Survivors built on known franchises such as Warhammer 40k.
  • For licensed projects, Poncle built a Vampire Survivor Engine template to share with trusted studios to preserve the series’ feel.
  • The company paused third-party publishing after small experimental releases, saying those teams did not get enough support.
