V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a remarkable 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.
The game's journey to this point has been impressive. Initially released in early access in 2022 and fully launched in 2024, V Rising captivated players with its engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. Its successful PS5 launch in June 2024 further solidified its popularity.
Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, attributes this 5-million-unit milestone to the dedicated community built around the game. He emphasized that this achievement fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement.
The 2025 update promises a wealth of new content, including:
- A New Faction: Introducing a fresh dynamic to the game's world.
- Enhanced PvP: New options, including safer duel arenas as previewed in update 1.1, allowing players to compete without the usual high-stakes risks of losing blood type upon death.
- Advanced Crafting: A new crafting station enabling players to leverage stat bonuses for crafting powerful endgame equipment.
- Expanded World: A new northern region beyond Silverlight, adding a challenging new area with tougher enemies and bosses.
- Improved Progression System: Streamlining and enhancing the player experience.
