V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a phenomenal milestone: surpassing 5 million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, is celebrating this success and has exciting news for players. A major 2025 update is planned, promising to significantly expand the game's content and features.
This milestone, representing more than just sales figures but also the thriving community built around the game, fuels Stunlock Studios' commitment to ongoing development. CEO Rickard Frisegard expressed the team's passion and dedication to creating a top-tier vampire open-world experience.
The 2025 update will introduce a game-changing expansion. Key features include:
- A New Faction: Introducing a fresh faction to challenge players and reshape the game's dynamics.
- Enhanced PvP: Expect revamped PvP options, including new duel systems and arena-based combat, minimizing the risks associated with traditional PvP encounters (e.g., no blood type loss upon death). This builds upon the preview offered in update 1.1.
- Advanced Crafting: A new crafting station will allow players to leverage stat bonuses from items, creating superior endgame equipment.
- Expanded World: A new, challenging region in the north of Silverlight will extend the game map, introducing tougher bosses and more demanding gameplay.
- Improved Progression: The update will refine the progression system for a smoother and more rewarding player experience.
- Ancient Technology: The addition of ancient technology promises new gameplay mechanics and possibilities.
V Rising launched in early access in 2022 and received its full release in 2024, quickly gaining popularity for its engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. Its PS5 release in June 2024 further broadened its reach. With this significant update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued success in 2025 and beyond.
