Last night, at the IGN x ID@Xbox Digital Showcase, Vampire Survivors revealed a new free update called Laboratory (yes, with two ‘r’s). It brings in a bunch of cool stuff like a new character, a secret character, weapons, stages, and even a go-cart racing stage.
But what’s got everyone curious is why it’s called Santa Water. This has been a big mystery, and now Poncle says they’ll finally spill the beans. I’m personally intrigued because, despite the name, there aren’t any vampires in this game. Strange, right?
New free update Laborratory just surprise dropped:
– Our most ambitious AAAA update yet
– Immersive DOOR opening
– Train mechanics (world premiere)
– Genre defining cart-racing
– 7 achievements, 3 weapons, new stage & characterOut on PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch & mobile! pic.twitter.com/2HLG2Cdl08

Poncle calls this Laboratory update their first “AAAA” update, set in a creepy science lab. Now, you can open doors in the game, and those doors are fully animated.
What’s behind them? Who knows, but in the new stage, it seems like everything is out to get you, especially those narrow corridors. So, opening doors might lead you into rooms filled with lizard soldiers and spikes. Scary stuff!

The new character, Santa Ladonna, comes with some neat abilities like a cooldown bonus and a special attack when low on health. And that’s not all – Poncle teased that there’s “absolutely nothing else” to Ladonna’s description, with some mysterious eye emojis.
