Vampire Survivors is getting guns in a new Contra crossover gun-focused DLC called Operation Guns

New characters and bullets arrive in early May

Revealed atthe Triple-I Initiativejust now,Vampire Survivorsis getting another cool DLC, this one a crossover with classic Konami run ‘n’ gunContra. It’s called Operation Guns. Get on board. Trailed with, as is now traditional, a cool animated trailer that suggests the game is a Saturday morning cartoon and not a top down pixelated nightmare that will flush out any latent photosensitivity lurking in your skull (complimentary), Operation Guns is arriving on May 9th, so about a month away.

Operation Guns will be the fourth DLC for Vampire Survivors, following Legacy Of The Moonspell (good), Tides Of The Foscari (also good) and Emergency Meeting (anAmong Uscrossover in space). Per pound, Vampire Survivors is some of the best value for money entertaiment you can get in a game, as it’s an endlessly replayable bullet hell where you are the bullet hell, charged with staying alive for half an hour as waves of bats and zombies and giant bugs charge towards you. It’s absolutely fantastic and I am pleased to see more crossovers acknowledging Vampire Survivors' supremacy.

Also revealed at the Triple-I stream was that it’s coming to PS5, but I don’t care about that, obviously. Look out for Operation Guns on May 9th.
