Vampire Survivors: The Grimoire lore book revealed, pre-orders open

Those looking to get even more out of Vampire Survivors will be interested to hear that a brand new hardcover art book is on the way known as The Grimoire. It will be available on October 13, 2026.

Nearly 200 pages will be included in the book. We don’t have all of the details about it just yet, but it’s confirmed to be “the official in-universe guide to the lore and legend behind the phenomenally successful indie game.”

Below is the official product description: 

Vampire Survivors is the genre-defining reverse bullet hell game that went from early access on Steam to winning the Best Game and Best Game Design awards at the BAFTA Game Awards.

Vampire Survivors is the gothic indie phenomenon that lets you be the bullet hell.

The year is approximately MMXXI in Rural Italy…

Vampire survivors are on a relentless quest. Stumbling through the Mad Forest, climbing the calamitous Gallo Tower, searching the far reaches of the Inlaid Library. The Belpaese family, the Ladonnas, assorted clerics and supernatural folk all join the search. Why is there roast chicken everywhere? How is that dog making flowers bloom? And who – or what – is Poe Ratcho?

And where are the vampires?

That’s where I come in. I am the Merchant, and I can be your guide. If you have gold of course. Always gold. If you seek coffins, I may know where to find them… for a price. Though I cannot guarantee you’ll find the vampires you seek…
