"Megabonk, a 3D reimagining of Vampire Survivors that became one of 2025's surprise hits, has somewhat belatedly released its Halloween update just in time for the winter holidays. But hey, Christmas has always been spook-adjacent, right? There's A Christmas Carol, Krampus, A Charlie Brown Christmas ... "yoo I've finally finished the update I was working on," said solo developer Vedinad in a post on Steam. "Was originally going to be a small halloween update, but I wanted to make it a bit bigger so it turned into a bit more work than I initially planned.""
"Alongside the new elements listed above, the Spooky Update also comes with a bunch of bug fixes, some new "advanced" settings for very niche tweaks, and a host of balancing changes. There's also access to the game's console, with the intention of making the game more open to speedrunning. And even this update has since received an update, fixing a few issues the spookiness introduced."
Megabonk is a 3D, third-person reinterpretation of Vampire Survivors that launched in September and rapidly grew popular. A belated Spooky Update arrived near the winter holidays, adding a new map, character, weapon, items, enemies, bosses, achievements, and challenges. The update also included bug fixes, new "advanced" settings for niche tweaks, multiple balancing changes, and console access intended to facilitate speedrunning. The Spooky Update received a follow-up hotfix addressing issues introduced by the new content. The game received a Best Debut Indie Game nomination that the pseudonymous creator withdrew on debut grounds.
