ReVamp — everything we know

ReVamp is a castle-defense roguelite from Digital Sun — the studio behind Moonlighter and The Mageseeker — in which you rule as Dracula, sovereign of a besieged castle. Cursed by Achlys, goddess of the night, you’re condemned to defend your throne without end as relentless mortal invaders return night after night. It fuses tower defense, base-building, roguelite runs and hands-on action: you shape your fortress room by room, command an army of the night, and step into battle yourself to tip the balance when your forces falter. Spend the blood of fallen mortals to strengthen the castle, and when it finally falls, the night begins again — with that banked blood unlocking new chambers, stronger creatures and deeper strategy. This page gathers every confirmed detail in one place and updates as news drops.

24 September 2026 · Milestone
200,000 wishlists, two new minions, and “we have a date”
Digital Sun thanked players on Steam on 24 September for pushing ReVamp past 200,000 wishlists and introduced two of Dracula’s new minions: the Cyclops, which “can launch his own eyeball as a projectile”, and the Mimic, which traps and paralyses mortals who get too curious. The post closes on the Triple-i Initiative on 8 October, where the studio will premiere new footage and “a pretty major piece of info about ReVamp”, verbatim: “Let’s just say that we have a date.” Until then, Steam still lists the release as “To be announced”.

A blood-pumping reveal is waiting.” The showcase itself runs on 8 October 2026 at 9:00 PT.

Rule as Dracula and defend your throne

You are Dracula — not a monster in the shadows, but the sovereign of a castle under siege. Cursed by Achlys, goddess of the night, you’re condemned to defend your throne without end. Relentless mortal invaders return night after night, and every siege becomes another chapter in a war waged for eternity — a war of blood and sacrifice, all “for the love you couldn’t save.”

Castle defense — build and reconfigure room by room

The castle is yours to shape. Expand it room by room, reconfigure its structure between attacks, and transform open halls into calculated gauntlets, forcing invaders into choke points, layered defenses and brutal confrontations. Each room alters the flow of battle. You invest the blood of fallen mortals to strengthen the fortress — empowering chambers, enhancing effects and acquiring new units — and with every placement the labyrinth deepens, becoming less a structure and more a weapon.

Command an army of the night

Mortals march in waves, blinded by a foolish sense of justice: armored knights, unyielding barbarians and zealous priests, each deserving a punishment tailored to their arrogance. Your answer is an army of monsters — the army of the night — with skeletal swordsmen and archers forming disciplined ranks, swarming rats that flood narrow corridors, and winged harpies that strike from above.

Step into battle yourself

When your legion wavers, you don’t just watch from afar. You move through the castle as Dracula and unleash devastating special abilities to turn certain defeat into victory. The better you build, the more lethal you are: design your fortress with intention and exploit the shortcuts you carved into your own design. You are not just the ruler of the castle — you are its final defense.

A roguelite of endless nights

Each moonrise brings a new, escalating assault. Enemy formations shift, elite leaders emerge, and no two sieges unfold the same, so survival demands adaptation. When the castle falls, the night begins again — but defeat isn’t oblivion. The blood spilled in your halls becomes power: between cycles you invest it to unlock new chambers, command stronger creatures and access deeper layers of strategic possibility.

Digital Sun — the studio behind ReVamp

ReVamp is made and self-published by Digital Sun, the Spanish studio known for Moonlighter and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story. It’s a notably darker, more strategic direction for the team, leaning into a gothic dark-fantasy world with mild mature content (some enemies drop blood when hit).
