V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a remarkable milestone: exceeding 5 million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, is celebrating this success and has unveiled exciting plans for a major 2025 update.
This update promises to significantly expand the game, introducing a new faction, enhanced PvP options, and a wealth of additional content. Players can anticipate a revamped progression system, incorporating ancient technologies, and a new crafting station enabling stat bonuses for endgame gear.
The 2025 update will also introduce a substantial new region, situated north of Silverlight, featuring increased difficulty, challenging bosses, and unexplored territories. This expansion significantly extends the game's map and provides players with a fresh and demanding experience.
Stunlock Studios' CEO, Rickard Frisegard, emphasized the significance of this 5 million unit sales milestone, highlighting the strong community built around V Rising. He assured players that this achievement fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement. The 2025 update, according to Frisegard, will "redefine" the game, offering players entirely new experiences. A preview of some of the new PvP duels and arena combat was showcased in update 1.1, offering risk-free PvP encounters where players retain their blood type even upon death.
The continued success of V Rising, following its full release in 2024 after a successful early access period, is a testament to its engaging combat, exploration, base-building mechanics, and its recent PS5 launch. With the ambitious 2025 update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued growth and player engagement.
