“Vampire Survivors” Animated Series In Development For Television

Story Kitchen is teaming up with Luca Galante to produce an animated television series inspired by the popular game of the same name. A search is underway for a writer.

Vampire Survivors is nominally set in rural Italy in 2021. Hordes of monsters summoned by the evil Bisconte Draculó ravage the land, and the Belpaese family and other heroic survivors take it upon themselves to hunt down and defeat Draculó. This quest takes them through monster-infested locales such as a cursed forest, a haunted library, an abandoned dairy plant, an ominous tower, and an otherworldly chapel.

In the game, the player controls an automatically attacking character while fighting against continuous waves of monsters, with the goal being to survive the onslaught for as long as possible and unlock additional characters, weapons, and relics for subsequent sessions. In spite of the game’s name and key art, none of the variety of monsters encountered are vampires.

Our Take

Video games is the new comic books for adaptations right now, Netflix has made animated video game adaptations a focal point for years but Prime Video has also risen as a bigger force in gaming adaptations.
