V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a remarkable milestone: surpassing 5 million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, is celebrating this achievement and has unveiled ambitious plans for a major 2025 update.
This significant update promises to redefine the V Rising experience. Key features include a brand-new faction, introducing fresh gameplay dynamics and challenges. Enhanced PvP options, including dedicated duel arenas and improved progression systems, will significantly impact player interaction and competition. A sneak peek at these arena-based PvP encounters, showcased in update 1.1, revealed a risk-free environment where players won't lose their blood type upon death.
Further enriching the gameplay, the 2025 update will introduce a revolutionary crafting station. This new station will allow players to leverage stat bonuses from items, creating opportunities for crafting powerful endgame equipment. A vast, unexplored northern region beyond Silverlight will expand the game world, presenting players with tougher challenges and formidable new bosses. This expansion promises to significantly increase the game's replayability and longevity.
The success of V Rising, initially released in early access in 2022 and fully launched in 2024, is a testament to Stunlock Studios' dedication and the engaging gameplay experience it offers. The game's popularity extends to the PS5, where it launched in June 2024. Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, emphasizes that the 5 million sales figure represents the strong community built around the game, fueling the team's commitment to continued development and innovation. The 2025 update is poised to deliver a wealth of new content and experiences, ensuring V Rising remains a compelling and captivating vampire survival game for years to come.
