Stunlock Studios had launched in May 2022 V Rising, a multiplayer survival game with vampires. The title is only available on computers and in early access, but it has sold more than two million copies in one month. Soon, it will land on a home console.
It’s via the blog PlayStation that Martin Lövgren, creative director of the game, announces that V Rising will arrive on PS5 sometime in 2024. We are treated to a new trailer, to admire above, but Stunlock Studios takes advantage of the opportunity to present its game to those who missed the phenomenon on PC two years ago:
This year, you’ll be able to grab your DualSense controller and dive headfirst into a world of gothic fantasy as a vampire. After centuries of deep sleep, you finally emerge from your coffin and discover a world that has forgotten the fear inspired by your sinister peers. Wander the lands of Vardoran, searching for prey and absorbing the energy from their blood to learn new skills. Build a castle to protect yourself from the sun’s deadly rays, collect materials and craft an arsenal of powerful weapons.
Rule the night in V Rising, an experience to enjoy solo or with others and which combines the best of survival and action-RPG games. In true survival game style, climb the food chain using your guts, intelligence and will. You will not begin your adventure as a lost prey in the wild seeking to become an experienced hunter. Instead, you’ll start as a weakened predator looking for a way to regain its status as the ultimate threat in a hostile kingdom. In a world where humans and monsters no longer make room for you, you will have to create one for yourself.
And how are you going to achieve this? By drinking the blood of your prey, obviously.
In V Rising, keeping your blood level high isn’t just about survival. This makes you gain power. Try to drink the blood of quality prey and face them in thrilling battles based on your skills. Test your courage by facing more than 50 bosses, each more terrifying than the last, and drink their blood to unlock your powers. Wield the weapon of your choice and cast terrible spells to forge the perfect playstyle. Each hunt brings you closer to the ultimate vampire you are destined to become.
Try multiple blood types and qualities to get special bonuses that you can use to perfect different strategies. Drink “warrior blood” to gain stamina and return blows. Drink “Thug Blood” to increase your movement speed and adopt hit-and-run attack strategies. You can also drink “worker’s blood” to improve your collection of goods and take care of your castle.
Explore a beautiful open world divided into six regions, each with its own set of unique encounters waiting for you. The world that has abandoned you is merciless and infested with bloodthirsty beasts, lawless bandits, horrible monsters and even more terrifying enemies… the faithful of the Church of Luminance.
In V Rising, you must strategically move between the shifting shadows cast by a dynamic sun to avoid ending up burned alive. Hide in the darkness and sneak between the tall trees of Farbane Woods. Cross the plains of Dunley Farmlands, avoiding garlic traps, and descend into the chilling mist of the Cursed Forest for ever more exhilarating adventures.
The world of Vardoran is waiting for you, so come and discover it from the comfort of your couch.
Speaking of comfort, what would a world be without a home? What is a vampire without his imposing home?
The castle is the center of a vampire’s existence. It is the place which testifies to its power and the symbol of its dominance. In V Rising, you will need to choose your story carefully before you start playing, because it is from it that you will build your legacy. Create long corridors decorated with curtains and finery, populate them with loyal slaves and fill each room with machines to build your palace. The grinder will turn your stones into bricks, the sawmill will turn your logs into planks and all this machinery will run on the blood drawn from the heart of the castle.
The castle, the center of your power, functions like a magical machine in which you yourself create the elements that will enable your ascension. Brew potions to improve your skills, craft legendary weapons to take down your enemies, and craft outfits to conquer the human lands in style. Set up your throne to control your subordinates. Prepare coffins for yourself, your minions, and, of course, your vampire allies. In case you missed the information! In V Rising, you can play with or against your friends.
If you’re like us, you want to avoid coming into contact with light and stay indoors to live your vampire dream life. So see you soon in the world of Vardoran.
