The vampire survival game, V Rising, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over five million units sold! Developer Stunlock Studios celebrated this success and revealed exciting plans for a substantial 2025 update, promising a game-changing experience.
Launched in early access in 2022 and receiving its full release in 2024, V Rising has captivated players with its immersive open-world vampire survival gameplay. The game's compelling combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics have earned widespread praise, further solidified by its successful June 2024 PS5 launch. Despite minor post-launch adjustments, V Rising's positive reception is evident in its impressive sales figures.
Stunlock Studios announced the five million sales milestone, with CEO Rickard Frisegard emphasizing the achievement's significance as a testament to the thriving community built around the game, rather than just a numerical accomplishment. This success, Frisegard assures players, fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and expansion. He confirmed that 2025 will bring a wave of new content and experiences.
A 2025 Update That Will "Redefine" V Rising
The developer teased a major 2025 update poised to significantly alter the V Rising landscape. This update will introduce a new faction, incorporating ancient technologies and a revamped progression system, alongside enhanced PvP options. A preview of new duels and arena PvP, featured in the November 2024 update 1.1, showcased PvP combat without the usual risks of losing blood type upon death.
Further additions include a new crafting station enabling players to leverage stat bonuses from items for crafting high-tier endgame equipment. A new northern region, expanding beyond Silverlight, will introduce more challenging encounters and formidable bosses, enriching the game's exploration and combat aspects. As Stunlock Studios celebrates its monumental success, V Rising is poised for a thrilling 2025, filled with exciting new content for its dedicated player base.
