The vampire survival game V Rising has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 5 million units sold. Developed by Stunlock Studios, this open-world game has captivated players since its early access release in 2022 and its full launch in 2024. Players embody a vampire striving to regain strength and survive, with the game receiving acclaim for its engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. V Rising made a successful transition to the PS5 in June 2024, and despite minor issues that required hotfixes, the game has been warmly received by the gaming community.
Stunlock Studios celebrated this significant achievement, with CEO Rickard Frisegard emphasizing the team's dedication to creating one of the best vampire-themed open-world video games. Frisegard views the 5 million sales not just as a number, but as a testament to the community they've built.

The 2025 update will introduce a new faction, ancient technology, an enhanced progression system, and new PvP options. A sneak peek in November showcased new duels and arena PvP features set to be included in V Rising's update 1.1, allowing players to engage in combat without the risks associated with regular PvP encounters, such as losing their blood type upon death.
Additionally, a new crafting station will be added, enabling players to harness stat bonuses from items to craft endgame gear. The update will also expand the game's map with a new region in the north of Silverlight, presenting tougher challenges and formidable bosses. As Stunlock Studios celebrates this impressive milestone, V Rising is poised to enter 2025 with an array of exciting new content for players to explore and enjoy.
