The vampire survival game, V Rising, has achieved a remarkable milestone: exceeding five million units sold. Developer Stunlock Studios celebrated this achievement, simultaneously revealing ambitious plans for a substantial 2025 update packed with new features and content.
Launched in early access in 2022 and receiving its full release in 2024, V Rising has captivated players with its compelling open-world vampire survival gameplay. Praised for its engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics, the game's success culminated in its June 2024 PS5 launch. Despite needing minor post-launch adjustments, V Rising's overall reception has been overwhelmingly positive, solidifying its place in the gaming landscape.
Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, emphasized the significance of the five million sales milestone, highlighting it not just as a numerical achievement but as a testament to the vibrant community built around the game. This success, Frisegard stated, fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and expansion. He confirmed that exciting new content and experiences are slated for release in 2025.
A 2025 Update That Will "Redefine" V Rising
The upcoming 2025 update promises a significant overhaul, introducing a new faction, advanced technologies, a refined progression system, and enhanced PvP options. A preview of the new duels and arena PvP, part of update 1.1, showcased a safer PvP environment where players won't lose their blood type upon death.
Further additions include a new crafting station, enabling players to leverage item stat bonuses for crafting endgame equipment. A new northern region, extending beyond Silverlight, will introduce more challenging encounters and formidable bosses. The expansion of the game world promises to deliver fresh and engaging content for players.
As Stunlock Studios celebrates this impressive achievement, V Rising is poised for an exciting 2025, filled with innovative updates and compelling gameplay additions.
