V Rising, the vampire survival game, has achieved a remarkable milestone: surpassing five million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, is celebrating this success and has exciting news for players. A major update planned for 2025 promises to significantly enhance the game experience.
This open-world survival title, initially released in early access in 2022 and fully launched in 2024, has captivated players with its engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. Its arrival on the PlayStation 5 in June 2024 further broadened its reach. Despite minor post-launch adjustments, V Rising has consistently received positive feedback, culminating in this impressive sales figure.
Stunlock Studios CEO Rickard Frisegard highlighted the dedication of the team and the strong community V Rising has fostered. He emphasized that the five million sales milestone represents more than just a number; it's a testament to the game's success and the passionate player base. This achievement fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement.
The 2025 update will introduce a wealth of new features, including:
- A New Faction: Adding depth and strategic complexity to the game's world.
- Enhanced PvP: New options, including dedicated duel arenas, mitigating the risks of traditional PvP encounters (e.g., preventing blood type loss upon death). A preview of some of these features was showcased in update 1.1.
- Improved Progression: Streamlining and enhancing the player progression system.
- Ancient Technology: Introducing new gameplay mechanics and possibilities.
- New Crafting Station: Enabling players to leverage stat bonuses from items to craft high-level gear.
- Expanded Map: A new region in the north of Silverlight, introducing challenging new areas, bosses, and content.
With this significant update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued growth and success in 2025.
