- The one Vampire Survivors rival that's got its near-perfect Steam score beat is "actively working" on a major new update - 4 January 2026
There are no shortage of games that have adopted the autobattling wave-survival format popularized by Vampire Survivors, and we've seen some real winners such as Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and Megabonk in recent years. Yet among all the best roguelikes in this mold, only one has topped Poncle's nigh-unbeatable 98% Steam review average. Holocure - Save the Fans sits at an almost-perfect 99% across just shy of 40,000 user ratings, and with good reason. Whether you're familiar with the Hololive Vtuber agency that it's based on or are simply a fan of the genre, Holocure is definitely a must-try, and its developer says its next update will be a big one.

- A Quick Little Dev Blog - 30 December 2025
Hello everyone! This is Kay Yu, the lead developer of HoloCure and I wanted to write this little blog(?) post to speak directly with you all. Because it has been quite a while since the past update, and as this year comes to a close, I decided I wanted to talk about the game, the update, and whatever else! I'm kinda just writing this on a whim, so please excuse me if it's not organized, this is just sorta me rambling and I'm just going to say whatever comes to mind. This is a first for me as I'm just writing here on this game's steam page and not on any other social media (I've essentially quit twitter as of now, which was my only other place I talked about the game before).First of all, thank you very much for your continued support as usual, to those that still play the game, and those who are looking forward to the next update. Let me confirm that yes, we are still very actively work…
- Small Change to Time Mode - 27 February 2025
Due to the overwhelming advantage that the "Rock Hard Stamp" grants compared to other stamps, a balance change was necessary to keep leaderboard competition as fair as possible. CHANGES: -Rock Hard Stamp will no longer drop in Time Mode. -Rock Hard Stamp is now applied automatically to all runs. This change will remain until update 0.8. From update 0.8, stamps will see additional changes in Time Mode only. Unless further major bugs or issues are found and need to be fixed immediately, we will now primarily focus on developing the next major content update. This means there will be no more small patches until then. We will likely share more about the next content update (0.8) in the later half of this year. Thank you for your continued support!

- It's Time to Stop Being Too Greedy - 19 November 2024
Another update! More various balance changes and bug fixes. This is something we really wanted to avoid nerfing as much as possible because we know it's fun, but unfortunately the greed has gone out of control, and it is finally time to nerf the stamp a little bit. We know people will be upset by it, but we think it will be for the better in the future. Sorry ): //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SHIROGANE NOEL Gyudon's ATK bonus now requires 20 HP instead of 10 per increase of ATK. In a previous build, Noel's Gyudon skill description text was corrected to +3 HP instead of +5 HP. Since the launch of 0.7, this skill has always given +3 HP, not +5 HP.
