World of Warcraft is the king of MMOs, and if a datamine is to be believed, it’s adding a game mode inspired by the king of roguelikes, Vampire Survivors.

The first reads, “10.2.5 - Vampire Survivors Mode - Game Mode - Client Scene (OJF)”, while the second says, “10.2.5 - Vampire Survivor Mode - Data – Creatures.”

Granted, this gives us very little to go on, but it certainly leaves things wide open for some good old speculation. The most likely case is that it will be some Vampire Survivors-themed minigame within World of Warcraft similar to its Plants vs Zombies-esque minigame Peaceblooms vs Ghouls. Perhaps you’ll be given weapons and powerups and pitted against a near-endless horde of enemies with suitably gothic-themed rewards if you can go the distance.

As for Vampire Survivors, the bullet hell indie isgetting a brand new game modeafter its developer Poncle “discovered a hot new gaming trend called ‘having a story.'”
