V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a remarkable milestone: exceeding 5 million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, celebrated this achievement and unveiled exciting plans for a major 2025 update.
This update promises to significantly enhance the V Rising experience. Key features include a new faction introducing fresh gameplay dynamics, expanded PvP options offering more structured combat scenarios, and a wealth of additional content.
Further additions in the 2025 update will include a powerful new crafting station enabling players to optimize endgame gear, and a vast new northern region beyond Silverlight. This expansion will introduce challenging new environments, formidable bosses, and a deeper exploration experience.
The success of V Rising, initially released in early access in 2022 and fully launched in 2024, is a testament to its engaging combat, immersive exploration, and compelling base-building mechanics. Its arrival on the PS5 in June 2024 further broadened its reach. Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, emphasized that the 5 million sales figure represents the strong community built around the game, fueling the team's commitment to ongoing development and innovation. The 2025 update, described as "redefining" the game, promises to deliver even more compelling content and experiences for players. A preview of new duels and arena PvP was showcased in November's update 1.1, highlighting the focus on refined PvP encounters without the usual penalties.
