It seems like another popular game is getting a movie adaptation! The developer of Vampire Survivors, poncle, has revealed that their game will be turned into a live action movie in 2025. This news comes as no surprise, especially since even lesser-known games like Sega's Eternal Champions are also getting movie adaptations.
But that's not all - in addition to the live action movie, Vampire Survivors will also be getting an animated TV show, which was announced back in 2023. Both of these adaptations are being produced by Story Kitchen, a company that seems to specialize in cross-media projects. They are also behind other upcoming adaptations like Amazon's Tomb Raider show and Sega's Streets Of Rage and Shinobi movies.
As for the developer, Luca 'poncle' Galante, he hasn't shared many details about either project yet. He has mentioned that it will be a challenge to get these adaptations right because the game itself doesn't have much of a story. This is something that has been brought up before when discussing Sega's movie plans, as many of their older games also lacked a strong narrative.
But unlike Sega, Galante seems to be aware of this challenge and is taking his time to find the right partners for these adaptations. In a recent Steam post, he explained that they don't want to rush into anything and want to make sure they have good ideas and creativity to make these adaptations successful.
Despite the lack of a strong story, Galante finds the idea of a Vampire Survivors movie or TV show exciting because it leaves room for creativity and allows for different interpretations of the game's characters and tone. The game does have a loose backstory involving a character named Bisconte Draculó and a family trying to stop him, which could serve as a basis for the adaptations.
In an interview last year, Galante mentioned that the lack of a strong narrative in Vampire Survivors is actually a strength because it gives writers and creators the freedom to tell their own story. He also teased other cross-media projects that the team is working on and hopes to reveal more information later this year. However, it's unlikely that we'll get any major teasers for the movie or TV show, as they are still in the early stages of production.
One thing to note is that the ongoing Screen Actors Guild strike is affecting production, so it's unclear how this will impact the adaptations. And with a game as visually unique as Vampire Survivors, it's hard to imagine how a live action movie will interpret all the visual craziness. But for now, we'll just have to wait and see.
