Summary
World of Warcraftmight be getting a game mode inspired byVampire Survivorsin the future. While little information is available about what this might entail, evidence pointing towards a crossover betweenWorld of WarcraftandVampire Survivorswas found in the Patch 10.2.5 Public Test Realm.
Vampire Survivorsis a bullet hell action roguelike indie game that took the world by storm when it first launched in October 2022. Over the last year,Vampire Survivorsreceived tons of new updatesand content, and became an award-winning title, with accolades at the Golden Joysticks, D.I.C.E. awards, and several other shows.
Now, it seems likeVampire Survivorsmay be coming toWorld of Warcraftin some fashion. On the Patch 10.2.5 PTR, players have discovered two entries in theWoWScenescript database–the files usually used for some cutscenes and minigames inWorld of Warcraft–that suggest aVampire Survivorsgame mode is coming to the game. No other information is available as to what this potential game mode is, or when it could show up, or how it will be played, but it seems likeWorld of Warcraftmay be trying to capitalize onVampire Survivors’ popularityin the future.
World of Warcraft x Vampire Survivors Crossover Files
Without an announcement or stronger evidence, players can only speculate as to what this potential crossover could entail. Many have looked to Peaceblooms vs. Ghouls–thePlants vs. Zombiesminigame inWorld of Warcraft–as a potential source for clues. This small crossover event allows players to earn the Singing Sunflower pet, so a similarVampire Survivorsminigame could follow suit with similar rewards.
Other fans wonder if the recently-discovered Dreadlord’s Regalia cosmetic ensemble might be involved as well. Dreadlords, along with their creatorSire Denathrius and the Venthyr of Revendreth inWorld of Warcraft, are some of the only examples of vampires inWoWbesides the seldom-used san’layn, so it is possible these cosmetics could be connected to this potential crossover. That said, it seems unlikelyWorld of Warcraftwould use such major characters in a minigame unless it was connected to a greater storyline.
While these file strings may not amount to anything, players may have another fun surprise in store for them soon. Fans ofVampire Survivorsshould keep a close eye onWorld of Warcraft’s next few patchesjust to be sure.
