Vampire Survivors received a free DLC pack called Emerald Diorama, which is based on the science fiction RPG franchise SaGa by Square Enix. The crossover adds another 16 playable characters to the game, and here is how to unlock them all.
How to Get All New Characters in Vampire Survivors Emerald Diorama

There are a total of 16 characters to unlock through the DLC alone with 12 known and four secret. All of the new characters can be earned in the Emerald Diorama stage once you unlock it.
Some of the characters have alternative skins that give different weapons, and it’s noted as such. The biggest outlier of the group is Diva No. 5, who has six forms with different stats and weapons for each one. Each of the forms needs to be earned in its own special way.
