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 exciting news for players. A major update slated for 2025 promises to significantly expand the game.
This momentous achievement follows the game's full release in 2024 after a successful two-year early access period. V Rising, praised for its captivating combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics, has also found a home on the PlayStation 5, launching in June 2024. Despite minor post-launch adjustments, the game's reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, attributes the 5 million sales milestone not just to a number, but to the vibrant community built around the game. This success fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement.
The 2025 update will be transformative, introducing a new faction, advanced technology, refined progression, and enhanced PvP options. A preview of new duels and arena PvP (update 1.1) showcased in November allows for risk-free player-versus-player combat, preventing blood type loss upon death.
Further additions include a new crafting station enabling stat bonuses for endgame gear and a substantial expansion to the game's map. A new northern region beyond Silverlight will present players with more challenging encounters and formidable bosses.
With 5 million copies sold and a substantial 2025 update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued growth and success.
