During today's Triple-I Initiative presentation, Poncle Games had some exciting news to reveal about Vampire Survivors. After a very long wait, it has been confirmed that the game will finally be coming to PS4 and PS5 this summer. Earlier this year, Poncle hinted about a PlayStation release, but this is the first time we've gotten anything resembling official confirmation. Considering that Vampire Survivors has been available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch for some time now, it will be nice for PlayStation fans to finally see what the hype is all about!

Vampire Survivors x Contra
In addition to the PlayStation announcement, Poncle Games also revealed the game's next collaboration. Operation Guns is a new expansion dropping on May 9th, and will feature content inspired by Konami's Contra franchise. While the game's Among Us crossover was at different points on different platforms, the Contra content will arrive the same day on PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. From the trailer, it looks like Contra's run and gun gameplay should mash-up very well with the roguelike elements fans are used to seeing in Vampire Survivors. Readers can see for themselves in the trailer in the Tweet embedded below.

Collaboration content is a fairly new thing for Vampire Survivors. Contra is just the second official crossover we've seen in the game, though there have been hints that we could see a crossover with Baldur's Gate 3, as well. Presumably, the DLC will cost $2.49. Typically, expansions have been offered for $1.99, but the game's Among Us DLC cost a little bit extra. Last December, Poncle noted that collaboration DLC will be a little more expensive "in most cases," so we can probably assume Operations Guns will cost at least $2.49.
