From Press Release:
August 28 2026: Indie studio poncle is over the, well, Bloodmoon to announce the release of Legacy of the Bloodmoon, the eighth expansion for its award-winning hit Vampire Survivors. Available today on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch 1/2, and Mobile.
And there’s even more to sink your teeth into: Legacy of the Bloodmoon will launch for just £0.99 / $0.99 / EUR0,99 / YEN 0.99. Additionally, the 2022 expansion, Legacy of the Moonspell has received a permanent price reduction to £0.99 / $0.99 / EUR0,99 / YEN 0.99, giving players even more fang for their buck.
What began as a content update for Legacy of the Moonspell quickly developed an appetite for something much bigger. The team’s thirst for more simply couldn’t be satisfied, giving rise to an all new expansion: Legacy of the Bloodmoon.
The expansion sees players accompany Malice Bloodmoon on her journey to discover the true history of Clan Bloodmoon, dark reflections who harness the malign might of the New Moon. Recruiting legendary members of the Clan, players will navigate the Glade of Woe and the Manor of Perdition in the search for answers. The expansion will also introduce an all new stage, Red Moon Manor.
Legacy of the Bloodmoon introduces:
10+ new playable characters 16+ new weapons and evolutions 1 new very large stage 1 new adventure 11 all-new music tracks.New Playable Characters
10+ new playable characters, including:
Malice Bloodmoon – The Ruthless Matron: The ruthless current ruler of Clan Bloodmoon pursues personal power and immortality at any cost. Plunging herself and her minions into perilous hunts through the malign history of her ancestors, she has so far only found that most of the 665 previous Bloodmoon Clan leaders met horribly bloody ends. Calogero Bloodmoon – The Heinous Beast: A depraved, beastly barbarian who seeks immortality only so that he can enjoy the thrill of killing others for eternity. Ashtart – The Timeworn Maleficist: A fossilised, soul-bartered horror who seeks to corrupt others only so that they can share in her eternal, decaying misery. Sargon – The “King” of the Universe: Seeking immortality through the stars themselves, Sargon is far from mortal, suffused with an eldritch power that threatens to rip his enemies – and what little remains of him – from reality. Baal’Thasar – The Sinister Saint: A fanatical, blood-drunk prophet who seeks eternal life only so that he can lead his cult in a never-ending ritual of slaughter under a red moon.New Weapons and Evolutions
16+ new weapons across base forms and evolutions, including:
Scarlet Needle: Malice’s favourite attack. Enemies are impaled by needles that inflict paralyzing pain. Incineration: Why deal damage when you can erase a whole bunch of enemies from existence with a single flick of the hand? Blacken Firmament: An ominous celestial body darkens the heavens and starts tearing reality apart. FireBall: Yep, peak originality: a weapon called fire ball will now be in Vampire Survivors. To not be confused with FireFall, FireWall, or their union: FireStall.New Stage
Red Moon Manor Stage: The ancient lair of the Order of the Red Moon. The myth says that Baal’Thasar had built it as a fortress to conceal the secret of immortality. But Malice and Calogero discovered that the manor does indeed exist. What is it truly hiding?

About poncle
poncle is the studio behind Vampire Survivors, founded by Luca Galante. What started as a solo project by Luca Galante during the pandemic has somehow grown since into a wider international team making games built around strong mechanics, fair pricing, replayability, and a general reluctance to waste the player’s time.
After the unexpected success of Vampire Survivors, poncle has continued to grow while sticking to the same basic idea: make games that are accessible, generous, and capable of escalating into complete nonsense when handled correctly.
Alongside its own projects, poncle also works with and supports other developers who share a similar view of games: respect the player, keep the price fair, and make something worth coming back to.
