Announced at The Mobile Premiere 2026, developer Outfit7 Neo has revealed Vampirio, an upcoming hybrid survival RPG with roguelike mechanics. Set prior to his legendary transformation into Dracula, the game casts players as Vlad Dracul in a grim battle for survival built around a high-stakes day-and-night cycle.
Build by Day, Survive by Night
Vampirio hinges on a dual-phase gameplay loop where daytime strategy directly dictates nocturnal survivability:
- Daytime Fortification: Construct, reinforce, and optimize fortress defenses, setting traps and barricades before sundown.
- Nighttime Defense: Repel waves of undead creatures, grotesque monsters, and dragons attempting to breach the compound before dawn.
Roguelike Mechanics and Multiple Game Modes
Combat blends real-time action with randomized roguelike build-crafting. Players can select different hero characters, gather tiered equipment, choose modular mid-run perks, and unleash tide-turning ultimate abilities as enemy scaling intensifies.
The title also expands beyond survival horde modes with structured narrative campaigns and endgame activities:
- Story Campaigns: Follow the Dracul siblings along their journey to Hellsing Academy through two narrative arcs: Dracul’s Origin and Descent.
- Post-Story Content: Unlock five additional modes, including Umbra Halls, Hellsing Trials, Boss Dungeon, Missions, and cooperative Raid encounters.
Global Release Details
Following an initial soft-launch phase last year, Vampirio is slated for a worldwide release across iOS and Android as a free-to-play title, with official launch date confirmations expected soon.
