VAMPIR is a free-to-play vampire MMORPG coming to PC and mobile with cross-play, automatic hunting and manual combat. Its global launch is October 27, 2026, at 7:00 PM PDT (October 28, 02:00 UTC), and pre-registration rewards include 100 million Gold and Rare equipment. If you enjoy building a farming character and taking control for tougher fights, this launch is worth a look. The Gold's usefulness depends on global progression costs.
F2P players can also earn Diamonds through hunting, while paid progression provides another route to upgrades. Global drop rates and the practical spending gap still need testing. Higher-tier areas also permit PvP, so check each hunting area's combat rules before settling in to farm.
Complete pre-registration before launch, then pre-download the client, agree on your exact server and shortlist Viper or Carnage. After launch, check for your Welcome Package; delivered reward mail expires after seven days.

PC Download Options
On PC, use the official website's PC Version Pre-Registration option to install the Netmarble Launcher, then complete registration inside it. The launcher advertises automatic game installation for registered players. Leave enough storage available and check that installation has finished before launch.
Alternatively, find VAMPIR on the Epic Games Store and confirm Netmarble Corp. as publisher. Use its download option when available; adding the game to your wishlist alone does not install it.
Android and iOS Downloads
Follow the official website's Google Play or App Store button to the supported listing for your region. Complete the available download and updates before launch. PC and mobile support cross-play, and the same account lets you continue between devices.
VAMPIR Server List: NA, EU and SEA
VAMPIR assigns your service region from your connection location. Only servers available within that region appear for character creation, so friends in different service regions cannot simply select the same server.
Region | Launch Servers |
NA | SCARLET1, SCARLET2, RUST1, RUST2 |
EU | ARIA1, ARIA2, PRELUDE1, PRELUDE2 |
SEA | ONYX1, ONYX2, OPAL1, OPAL2 |
Country labels are recommendations for players who share a language. Within SEA, for example, ONYX1 is recommended for Thailand and ONYX2 for Indonesia, while OPAL1 and OPAL2 are recommended for the Philippines and Australia. Those labels do not restrict each server to that country's players.
Agree on the exact server name before creating characters. Netmarble plans same-region transfers roughly 8 to 10 weeks after launch, so transfers are a later option. Warehouse, collections, Bloodshapes and mounts are shared between your characters on the same server.
Claim Your Launch Rewards
Complete VAMPIR pre-registration before launch through the official website or a supported pre-registration channel. On the website, select Pre-Register, accept the terms and submit your email address. Creating a new account after launch should not be assumed to qualify you for the Welcome Package.
The package includes the following rewards:
Reward | Claiming or Usage Detail |
100,000,000 Gold | Included in the Welcome Package |
Rare Weapon Chest and Rare Armor Set Chest | Check these before committing resources to replacement gear |
Designated Heroic Mount Summon Ticket | Usable at level 55 or higher |
Rare Appearance Summon Ticket (Class) | One ticket in the package |
Immortal Portrait Fragments A, B and C | Collect all three to activate the Immortal Franz Portrait |
After entering the game, check your mailbox and the reward notice. Rewards are issued once per account, even if you registered through multiple platforms. The notice gives a 30-day claim period after launch, but delivered mail lasts seven days before deletion. Claim it promptly; the longer distribution window does not extend an individual message's expiry.
Choose the claiming character carefully because the Immortal Franz Portrait's gender follows that character. Joining the official Discord provides a separate Welcome Coupon, redeemable after launch.
The advertised up to 1,100 summons belong to a launch event. Check its missions and distribution rules before planning your summons; the headline does not establish an immediate 1,100-summon login reward.
F2P Class Picks for Launch
VAMPIR has five damage-focused classes and no dedicated healer. Drain restores your own HP by absorbing enemy life force, so learning your recovery tools matters whichever class you choose.
Class | Combat Style | Reason to Consider It |
Viper | Ranged sorcery, poison and curses | You prefer spellcasting and fighting from range |
Carnage | Ranged firearms | You want a gun-based farming character |
Bloodstained | Sword-based melee | You prefer a frontline fighter |
Grim Reaper | Shadow-scythe melee | You enjoy an aggressive melee style |
Akasha | Close combat and pursuit | You want to chase targets and fight up close |
All five classes allow male or female characters. Akasha is available when global servers open.
Viper vs Carnage for F2P
Earlier-version player recommendations favor Viper for an inexpensive spellcasting start and Carnage for a character focused on farming. Ranged attacks are the main practical attraction: they can reduce movement between targets, particularly when farming spots are crowded.
Choose Viper if its magic playstyle appeals to you; choose Carnage if you prefer firearms and expect to spend much of your time hunting. VAMPIR Diamond can come from field hunting, dungeon monsters and bosses, according to Netmarble. Bloodstained is worth considering if you prefer melee, but claims about its defensive advantage need checking against your actual equipment and skills.
First-Day Mistakes to Avoid
In VAMPIR, start by advancing the main story. Complete nearby side quests alongside it when their objectives overlap, then return to the story. This keeps optional progress manageable without repeatedly crossing the same area.
Spending on Gear Too Soon
Claim available equipment before spending heavily on an early replacement. Keep enough Gold for newly available skill books, and avoid chasing perfect secondary stats on gear you expect to replace. Trinity also serves several progression systems, so inspect the next upgrade's cost before committing your reserve.
Leaving an Untested Farming Setup
Watch a short farming session before leaving your character unattended. If MP steadily falls, reduce automatic use of less useful skills or lengthen their usage intervals where the client allows it. If potions disappear rapidly or kills take too long, try weaker enemies and compare the results over the same length of time.
Check both inventory slots and weight before a long session. Leave room for drops, then check again when you return. A location that keeps your character fighting and collecting loot consistently is a better starting point than one that repeatedly forces a retreat.
Support Mode can run selected activities in sequence and return to town for maintenance. Offline Mode supports hunting for a limited period while disconnected. Check the global client's duration and requirements before relying on either for an overnight session.
Assuming Korean Dungeon Limits Apply
When dungeons become available, inspect their entry requirements, remaining time or attempts, and reset schedule. Korean guides provide useful preparation, but their unlock levels and daily or weekly allowances should not be treated as confirmed global limits.
Risking Your Only Usable Weapon
Read enhancement failure warnings before risking your main weapon. Check any replacement achievement's eligibility and whether it has already been claimed. Keep a usable backup before attempting an upgrade that can destroy equipment.
Adding Alts before Your Main Works
Once your main has a stable routine, look for an active clan that matches your language and schedule. Develop alternate characters after you understand which activities and resources they can meaningfully contribute.
Is VAMPIR Worth Trying as F2P?
VAMPIR Diamonds can come from field hunting, dungeon monsters and bosses, according to Netmarble. Paid currency and progression options also exist. Earnable Diamonds give F2P players another resource source, but their practical value depends on drop frequency and the costs you encounter.
Start with the story and a sustainable farming setup before deciding whether the progression pace suits you. Competitive PvP deserves a separate decision: higher-tier areas permit player killing, and Gehenna centers on competition for boss rewards. Check a hunting area's PvP rules before leaving your character there unattended.
The 5v5 Arena is planned for a later update and will not be available at launch.
For an undecided player, the strongest reason to try VAMPIR is the mix of automated hunting, character development and manual combat, with progress shared between PC and mobile. Spend your first session watching a farming cycle, trying manual controls and checking upgrade costs. Those checks will tell you more about whether to keep playing than a launch reward total.
If your main goal is competitive PvP or farming Diamonds, wait for global results before planning a large time commitment. Earnable currency alone cannot establish how quickly an F2P character will progress against paying opponents.
