V Rising, the vampire survival game, achieves phenomenal success, surpassing 5 million units sold! Stunlock Studios, the developer, is celebrating this milestone and has exciting news for players. A major 2025 update is planned, promising a significant expansion of the game's content and features.
This critically acclaimed open-world survival game, initially launched in early access in 2022 and fully released in 2024, has captivated players with its immersive combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. Its successful PS5 launch in June 2024 further solidified its popularity.
Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, attributes this 5-million-unit sales achievement to the dedicated community V Rising has fostered. He emphasizes that this success fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement.
The 2025 update will be a game-changer, introducing a new faction, advanced technology, and a refined progression system. Enhanced PvP options, including dedicated duel arenas and safer PvP encounters (preventing blood type loss on death), are also in the works, previewed in November's update 1.1.
Further enriching the gameplay, the update will include a new crafting station enabling players to optimize endgame gear with stat bonuses. A vast new northern region, extending beyond Silverlight, will introduce challenging new bosses and content, expanding the game world significantly.
With 5 million copies sold and a massive update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued growth and success in 2025.
