The series, based on the BAFTA-winning indie hit, will include four issues and will launch in September 2026
Titan Comics and poncle have today announced that fans will be able to explore the lore behind Vampire Survivors like never before in a brand-new series of comics. With the first issue set to debut in comic stores in September 2026, the series will span four issues, with a collected graphic novel arriving in March 2027.
Since its breakout debut in 2021, Vampire Survivors has become a genre-defining hit, winning Best Game and Best Game Design at the 2023 BAFTAs, as well as Best Evolving Game in 2025. Set in the Italian countryside, hordes of monsters have been summoned by the evil Bisconte Draculó, ravaging the land and plunging the country into chaos. It is up to the Belpaese family and other heroic survivors to defeat Draculó, with the player aiming to survive as long as possible under constant attack.
In this new story, familiar survivors venture through cursed realms filled with unspeakable creatures, hidden histories, and increasingly bizarre mysteries as they begin uncovering secrets that were never meant to be found. As they seek answers and battle monsters in an endless library, a corrupted dairy plant, and even a mad forest, a terrible and shocking truth finally begins to reveal itself.
This adaptation brings on board a stellar creative team, written by David Hazan (co-creator of Nottingham) and illustrated by Jimmy Kucaj (known for their work on Dread The Halls). Hazan shared his excitement: “It’s been incredibly fun to bring Vampire Survivors’ iconically eclectic cast of characters to life in a way we’ve never seen them before… I can only hope that my hours spent researching ridiculous things for our Survivors to say in Italian pays off!”
Kucaj added: “I’m so excited and honored to get to be such a big part of bringing the Vampire Survivors world to life… It’s such a privilege getting to put my own energy into these already classic feeling characters.”
Editor Ibraheem Kazi commented: “I’m thrilled to help bring this fantastic video game to comics! David Hazan and Jimmy Kucaj have done a great job fleshing out this beloved world… I hope you all enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed working on it!”
Titan Comics is excited to create an adaptation that captures the strange blend of mystery, humor, absurdity, and hidden lore that has made Vampire Survivors such a beloved phenomenon. Vampire Survivors #1 hits comic shops on September 9th, 2026, and is available to pre-order now.
