Vampire Survivors developer Poncle is giving us a bit of a two-for-one with its minimalist survival RPG’s latest free update, combining sufficiently spooksome chills for Halloween and all the snow-speckled wintery fun you might reasonably require when things start to get a bit jollier later on. It’s called the Chilling Update (because of all the snow, yes?) and it’s available now.
The Chilling Update — also known as v1.7.0 — introduces a new playable character, a new bonus stage, a new evolving weapon, two new relics, six new EXTRA achievements, and a new music track. If that’s enough information to get you salivating and you’d rather avoid spoiling the fun before diving in, stop reading now — otherwise it’s time to go through all the above in more detail, starting with the new stage, Whiteout.
Whiteout is described a «20-minute bonus stage» in Poncle’s patch notes, and it’s unlocked by picking up a total of 20 Orologions. Once inside, players will encounter snowmen insistent on blocking their path, and face enemies which, according to Poncle, move very slowly and are particularly susceptible to fire. «So for most of it,» the studio explains, «there isn’t anything particularly challenging» — although you might want to save your spicy sausage for the boss.
