1.11.1 Vampire Survivors Darkasso Update Adds Stage, Skins, and Darkanas

Poncle announced that the new, free Vampire Survivors Darkasso 1.11.1 update is live, alongside patch notes going over additions and bug fixes. It’s on all existing platforms now, and those who pick up the PS4 and PS5 versions will have access to the patch when those ports launch.

The Vampire Survivors update adds a new gameplay element called Darkanas, unlocked by a Darkasso Relic, as well as a new stage and skins. If you find the Darkasso relic, you can enable and select a Darkana during a run. These Darkanas can do things like alter your existing abilities or spawn more bosses. The new stage is one of the challenge ones. As for the two character skins, once unlocked they change what the characters start with when used.
