Vampire Survivors has just rolled out a major free DLC drop—*Emerald Diorama*—and it’s making waves in the gaming community. This exciting new addition is inspired by Square Enix’s legendary *SaGa* series, blending the retro charm of classic JRPGs with Vampire Survivors’ signature wave-based gameplay. It’s not just a crossover; it’s the game’s most ambitious update to date.
Step into a brand-new stage designed like a compact world map, complete with world-hopping exploration vibes. The *Emerald Diorama* DLC introduces over a dozen fresh characters, each with unique abilities—some command puppets, while others unleash cursed melodies that reshape the battlefield. With more than 16 new weapons to discover and a dynamic Glimmer system that lets you randomly acquire powerful skills mid-run, every session feels fresh and unpredictable. To top it off, nine original music tracks have been added, enhancing the immersive JRPG atmosphere.
To unlock this content, head to Moongolow and find the new merchant. Purchase the Emerald Disk for 50,000 gold, then gradually unlock the DLC’s features piece by piece. One standout addition is the character party system, allowing you to build and control a mini-squad, adding a strategic layer to your survival runs.
The update also introduces two new Adventures—essentially mini-campaigns, each spanning six chapters. *To End an Ice Age* expands the base game experience, while *Tides of the Foscari* dives deeper into the lore and mechanics of the *Emerald Diorama* DLC, offering fans even more content to conquer.
Alongside the DLC, Vampire Survivors launched another free update called *The Coop*. Yes, it’s chicken-themed—and yes, it’s as delightfully weird as it sounds. Meet Gazebo, a new chicken character with unique evolution mechanics. The update adds a new weapon, a relic that speeds up gameplay, and a set of achievements tied to collecting floor chickens.
Here’s a pro tip: When starting *The Coop*, avoid killing any enemies during the first minute. Doing so unlocks the *Gaze of Gaea*, and evolving it further with *Parm Aegis* will eventually summon Gazebo. Collect 500 lifetime floor chickens to fully unlock the update’s potential.
The best part? Both the *Emerald Diorama* DLC and *The Coop* update are completely free. Available now on the Google Play Store, the game also supports cross-platform save syncing across PC, Xbox, Android, and iOS—so your progress follows you no matter where you play.
