Vampire Survivors Wet Update adds underwater stage, bosses

Poncle will release Vampire Survivors version 1.15, titled ‘Lycaeum’ or the Wet Update, and plans to bring it to consoles soon. The update adds a new underwater stage called ‘The Lycaeum’ and introduces new bosses and playable characters.

The Lycaeum stage includes aquatic enemies and a set of fish-themed weapons. The patch adds a new Darkana mechanic that enables certain mid-run weapon pick-ups, changing how players can acquire and use weapons during runs.

The update also adds user-facing features: an unlocks list to track progression, multiple save slots to keep different runs or setups, and character set-up menus with filters to simplify selection. Players will have the option to unbanish stage items, and ‘power creep’ options will be available for every character.

Performance and stability changes are included. Poncle reports reduced loading times, more than 80 bug fixes and general stability improvements. Full official patch notes have not been published, so a complete list of fixes and changes is not yet available.

Poncle has issued frequent updates for Vampire Survivors since the game’s launch. The developer announced the Lycaeum update is coming to consoles and said platform release dates, including for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, will be announced in the coming weeks.
