The game that started it all and has been cloned repeatedly, Vampire Survivors has another free update out with The Darkasso update. After some truly cryptic and confusing teasers, the developers have now properly announced it.
Non-spoilery version of what's in the update::
- 9 new EXTRA achievements
- 1 new challenge stage
- 1 new relic
- 2 new special character skins
- 5 new Arcanas
- 🦇🦇🦇
And they have another ridiculous trailer to go along with it:

For those waiting on the online co-op support, they said it's still progressing well but too early to give details. As for other things to come, they're still being quite secretive there, other than saying "we have put one on hold, substituted another one, two are still ongoing, and finally we have greenlit 2 of them" with more details coming in 2025 on whatever it is.
They also joked how they basically throw darts on their roadmap on what to pick:
Other bug fixes and improvements from patch 1.11 include:
- Obtaining the Yellow Sign also allows to see if a treasure chest has the potential to contain an evolution (Silver Chests)
- Carréllo projectiles won't be destroyed anymore when they hit the top or bottom edge of the screen

I think it's one of those debug symbol files allowing you to see find the variable names in compiled code.
Usefull stuff, but if people decide they want to play around with your program you've just made it a lot easier.
