Summary
If the words ofBaldur’s Gate 3director Swen Vincke are anything to go by, the award-winning RPG could soon get some sort of crossover withVampire Survivors. Given that both games are rooted in fantasy, a crossover between the two would make sense.
Baldur’s Gate 3andVampire Survivorsare two successful games in their own right. While the former is a AAA title that bagged multiple Game of the Year awards last year, the latter is an indie game that achieved way more success than was initially thought possible.
Larian boss Swen Vincke’s latest tweet has teased a potential coming together of two popular games,Baldur’s Gate 3andVampire Survivors. On Twitter, he posted a poll asking whether the two games should collaborate with the only two options being “Yes” and “F— yes,” hinting that the poll result was inconsequential to the actual decision which seemed to have already been made.
At the time of writing, over 18,000 votes have been polled with 51.1% of users picking the “F— yes” option with just a few hours left to go. In the comments section of the poll, Vincke also shared a cryptic picture of him and what appears to be Luca Galante, the main man behindVampire Survivors. After this, the post was swarmed with excited fans of both games. Some fans expressed their desire to see the popularBaldur’s Gate 3character AsterioninVampire Survivors. Another user said, “Would kill to play as Peppino inBG3.”
A Baldur’s Gate 3/Vampire Survivors Crossover Could Be Mutually Beneficial
WhileBaldur’s Gate 3is still quite popular, averaging over 90,000 concurrent players on Steam over the past month, it is the first time this stat has dipped below a six-digit value since the game’s launch. On the other hand,Vampire Survivorshas also seen its numbers stagnate over the past year after last crossing 10,000 average concurrent players in April 2023.
Clearly, each game could use some new content to boost their player engagement, and this year seems to be the perfect time for an injection of new players for certain reasons. In the case of Larian Studios, the speculated crossover could rejuvenate theBaldur’s Gate 3community ahead of the game’s physical release in Q1 2024. Similarly, the crossover would also benefitVampire Survivorsdeveloper Poncle in drawing more fansas work continues on an animated TV series adaptation of its game that was originally announced last year.
